SpaceX's Fram2 mission, led by crypto astronaut Chun Wang, marks the first manned flight to polar orbits in private spaceflight.
Chun Wang, a Chinese-born entrepreneur and crypto investor, becomes the first bitcoiner to travel to space through the mission.
Wang's crypto portfolio includes Namecoin (NMC) and Lido DAO. He is joined by Norwegian filmmaker Jannicke Mikkelsen, adventurer Eric Philips, and robotics expert Rabea Rogge on the mission.
The Fram2 mission aims to conduct key studies on the effects of space on the human body and highlights the importance of climate research and planetary observation.
