By Eliott Rodriguez, CBS Miami November 6, 2021 When SpaceX's Inspiration4 rocket took off from the Kennedy Space Center on September 16th, it carried four civilian astronauts into orbit. It also carried the work of Miami artist Jon Louis Gonzalez, a self-confessed space junkie who has a studio in Wynwood. "I grew up in Melbourne, so I grew up watching many of the space missions," Gonzalez, 27, explained. "I had a teacher who was also an engineer and he would take us to visit the cape and taught us to be influenced by space."
