Switching gears to SpaceX, the company recently documented humans orbiting the poles of Earth for the first time aboard the Crew Dragon spacecraft, Fram 2. This mission is historical not only for its location but also for the scientific experiments it will conduct. The crew, currently scheduling 22 science experiments, aims to enhance human health during long-duration space flights, resulting in significant implications for future space exploration.
Mission commander Chung Wang shared exciting video footage that glimpsed the unique perspectives from orbit. The spacecraft design is particularly noteworthy as this is its fourth operational flight, showcasing SpaceX's commitment to reusing and repurposing their spacecraft.
