A wealthy businessman from Bitcoin and three adventurers colleagues returned to Earth on the Dragon Crew Crew Dragon, as they set out in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of southern California to close the first natural flight around the Earth’s poles.
Three and a half days after Launching Monday From the Kennedy Space Center – after 55 passed over the northern and southern poles – the crew dragon launched the braking missiles at 11:26 am and retreated to the distinctive atmosphere after about 25 minutes.
The temperatures of the permanent heat shield up to 3500 ° F.

The Spacex crews that were deployed soon to the capsule rushed to the capsule and falsified it for a elevator on the company’s recovery ship.

In the first test of its kind, the crew came out of the craft on its own, indicating the ability to get out of the crew dragon without the help of the recovery sets.
Unlike Odeh crews from long -term trips To the international satellite station that is implemented from their capsules, the mission commander Chun Wang and his three comrades were able to raise the emergency tools up and get out of the hole before they climbed themselves.
While they moved with great caution after three and a half days in the lack of weight, Chun, Norwegian cinematic photographer Janekki Michaelsen, Rabia Rouge, a German robot specialist, and Australian Australian guide Eric Phillips all smile when they received support staff and accompanied them in the recovery ship for primary medical checks.

Chun is a Chinese citizen born in Malta and often lives in the far north of Norway, the last of which was in Svles, a Norwegian archipelago in the Northern Frozen Ocean where he met for the first time his colleagues in the crew, all of whom are old warriors in the polar campaigns.
“We … all of us met on Svabard, and we love ice,” Chun posted on X during the trip. “The task was planned when I lived there, and we fly the polarity because, in an ISS -like orbit, we cannot see where we live. From this perspective, the task achieved its goal completely.”
Chun said before his launch that he intends to search for research stations in Antarctica, but Michaelsen said during the trip that “unlike previously expected, from 460 km above, he is only pure white, and there is no visible human activity.”

Do not have a licensed pilots or his colleagues. While Jeff Bezos It launched the blue origin Unforgettable crews on the edge of the space on new shepard flights in orbit, no crew has been transferred to orbit without being at least one member with an experience in the field of aviation or astronaut.
But the crew dragon is very automatic and can be controlled from the ground when necessary. Watch Spacex Fram2 trip as a starting stone towards opening the door for more professional to travel to orbit.
Chun, a thirsty global traveler and a polar visitors, spacex has paid an unveiled amount for the elasticity of the charter for the trip to Polar Orbit, the tourist trip in the private sector SPACEX.

The Fram2 mission was named in honor of the nineteenth -century sailing ship – or “forward” in the Norwegian language – which carried explorers in the Arctic to the Polish. A small piece of decorating original ships in space was transferred on the crew dragon.
“My journey of curiosity has been formed for life and magic with the boundaries of payment,” said Chun before his launch. “When I was a child, I used to stare in an empty white space at the bottom of the world map and wonder what is there.
“Curiosity in the end of the continent and to the southern south of the land in 2021, as well as the Arctic in 2023.” Fram2 is not only related to going to space. It is related to pushing borders, sharing knowledge … and we hope that our mission will be inspired later to do the same. “
The crew plans to implement 22 experiments during the trip, starting with photographing screen screens from orbit to testing the integrated exercise equipment for use in smaller spacecraft, cultivating oyster mushrooms in minor gravity and taking the first X -ray in space.

Besides three advanced professional cameras, the crew is equipped with multiple laptops, multiple computers, and pork radio “until the X-ray generator, which we will use to take the first X-ray image of the human body in space-which is decisive for long-term tasks to March and beyond”, was published on X.
Throughout the trip, the crew posted amazing videos, including the Timelpase view of the Earth below, where the crew dragon sailed over the Antarctic continent to the Arctic, making the journey from one pole to another every 46 minutes.
“I am proud to be able to bring some amazing cameras and lenses that take the first pictures of the Arctic and the Antarctic Pole by humans from space,” Mikkelsen posted on X.
Another video showed the entire state of Florida and southeastern United States. Zoom in the Kennedy Space Center, Chun wondered, “There is our launch platform. Oh my God!”
