On Monday, Spacex of Elon Musk was set to launch a crew of four private astronauts led by a Crypto entrepreneur, which revolves around a mission from Earth to pole, a novel trajectory in which no human had traveled before.
Maltese Investor Chun Wang, a Chinese -born magnet, founded a bitcoin mining company, is a Bancharolor and commander of the SpaceX Mission, named Fram2, a reference to the Norwegian “Fram” ship, which led to Arctic discovery at the turn of the 20th century.
Wang and three colleagues have been scheduled to ride in SpaceX’s Crew Dragon Capsule on Monday (GMT) from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Monday (1:47 pm), which is being established for a free-fling mission for three to five days, during which they will be involved in 22 research experiments.
On Monday afternoon, four crew members were operated for launchpad in a caravan in Teslas – Electric cars of other company of Musk – Cape Canverals, with a police escort through the roads of Florida, launched overhead in an unrelated Starlink Mission as a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket.
“We’re going to see a rocket launch on the path of rocket launch,” Wang wrote on X, with a video of Musk -owned social media site, a Falcon 9 video of a falcon 9, to climb the sky in space during his drive.
Mission, SpaceX’s sixth private astronaut flight, is the company’s latest novel attempt that expands its dominance in the global human spaceflight sector. It comes as the power of Musk as the CEO of SpaceX and the world’s richest man as he serves as a close advisor to US President Donald Trump, a role that has had an extraordinary impact for a businessman on an array of American policy cases.
The Fram2 will be reusable crew dragon, using a gum -shaped spacecraft, the 16th crew mission, which was developed by SpaceX with NASA funding to get the US Space Agency to ride from the international space station and its astronauts.
SpaceX and its dragon craft dominated the newborn market for private orbital spaceflights, an area in which a major source of demand came from a small area of ​​rich tourists. The Dragon is the only privately manufactured capsules in the world that is a regular class flight mission, as the Starlineer capsule of Boeing is placed in development.
In recent years, with a cost of approximately $ 55 million per seat with dragon flights, the Spaceflight Market – including companies such as Exiom Space, contracted Crew Dragon Mission – has mainly fixed more than governments desirous of paying the amount for national reputation and domestic spaceflight experience.
But the Fram2 crew is immoral with the support of the government. Wang’s friends include Norwegian film director Jennic Mikelsen, who specializes in virtual-reality cinematography; German robotics researcher and polar scientist Rabia Rose, and Australian courageous Eric Philips, who have launched ambitious skiing campaigns in the rigid polar regions of the Earth.
