Elon Musk's SpaceX on Monday launchd a crew of four private astronauts led by a crypto entrepreneur on a mission to orbit Earth from pole to pole, a novel trajectory in which no humans have traveled before. Maltese investor Chun Wang, a Chinese-born magnate who founded a bitcoin mining company, is the bankroller and commander of the SpaceX mission, named Fram2, a reference to the Norwegian «Fram» ship that pioneered Arctic exploration at the turn of the 20th century. The four crew members on Monday afternoon were driven to the launchpad in a caravan of Teslas — the electric cars of Musk's other company — winding through the roads of Cape Canaveral, Florida, with a police escort, as a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched overhead in an unrelated Starlink mission. «We're gonna watch a rocket launch while on our way to a rocket launch,» Wang wrote on X, the social media site owned by Musk, alongside a video of a Falcon 9 climbing the skies to space during their drive. The mission, SpaceX's sixth private astronaut flight, is the company's latest novel effort that expands its dominance in the global human spaceflight arena. It comes as Musk's power as SpaceX CEO and the world's richest man soars as he works as a close adviser to U.S. President Donald Trump, a role that has given him extraordinary influence for a businessman over an array of U.S. policy matters.

SpaceX is set to launch the first human spaceflight directly over Earth's polar regions on Monday — a days-long, privately funded orbital mission involving four astronauts. Named «Fram2» after the famed Norwegian ship built in the 19th century for Arctic and Antarctic expeditions, the mission will feature a range of experiments including taking the first X-ray in space and growing mushrooms in microgravity. It's hoped that the research will support future long-duration space travel to Mars.
