As Crew Dragon Spacecraft Orbits Earth’s Polar Regions, Fram2 Astronauts Capture Breathtaking Images of the Arctic and Antarctica (VIDEOS)

Down here on Earth, tech billionaire and DOGE head Elon Musk has to bear the brunt of Liberal-Globalist hatred for his support for Donald J. Trump and his willingness to wade in the DC ‘swamp’ to cut waste and corruption.

But up there in space, Musk keeps making history.

This time, SpaceX’s Dragon Spacecraft is crewed by a privately-funded mission that, for the first time, has astronauts orbiting planet earth over the poles, rather than around the equatorial regions.

FoxWeather.com reported:

“SpaceX is sharing the first look at the vast expanse of ice layering Earth’s poles after launching the private Fram2 mission, the first human spaceflight to polar orbit.

A stunning video taken from SpaceX’s Dragon capsule by the ‘Framonauts’ shows their view from the spacecraft orbiting Earth at a 90-degree inclination over the north and south poles. The private mission, led by Mission Commander Chun Wang, of Malta, is named after the original Fram ship that first reached the Earth’s polar regions in the 1800s. Fram also means ‘forward’ in Norwegian.

[…] While Fram2 is among the nearly 630 missions to orbit Earth, it’s the first to take the journey this way, orbiting from pole to pole versus missions that orbit near the equator. Even astronauts on the International Space Station have not seen the views the ‘Framonauts’ are experiencing. This orbit required a unique southern launch trajectory flying over Florida and Cuba.”

Associated Press reported:

“A bitcoin investor who bought a SpaceX flight for himself and three polar explorers blasted off Monday night on the first rocket ride to carry people over the North and South poles.

Chun Wang, a Chinese-born entrepreneur, hurtled into orbit from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center. SpaceX’s Falcon rocket steered southward over the Atlantic, putting the space tourists on a path never flown before in 64 years of human spaceflight.”

“A polar orbit is ideal for climate and Earth-mapping satellites as well as spy satellites. That’s because a spacecraft can observe the entire world each day, circling Earth from pole to pole as it rotates below.

[…] Wang pitched the idea of a polar flight to SpaceX in 2023, two years after U.S. tech entrepreneur Jared Isaacman made the first of two chartered flights with Musk’s company. Isaacman is now in the running for NASA’s top job.”
