Bitcoin investor booked SpaceX flight to travel to North and South Pole, know everything
SpaceX: China-born entrepreneur Chun Wang flew south over the Atlantic Ocean from NASA's Kennedy Space Center on a SpaceX Falcon rocket. He has set out on a journey to the North and South Pole with his three companions. This is the first journey of its kind in the 64-year history of human space flight.
One of the bitcoin investors has booked a SpaceX flight to take him and three others to the North and the South Pole in a trip that took place on Monday night. It is the first rocket journey to take humans to the North and the South Pole.
China-born entrepreneur Chun Wang flew from NASA's Kennedy Space Center into space. SpaceX's Falcon rocket flew south over the Atlantic Ocean. It had never been done before in 64 years of manned space flight. But Wang will not disclose what he paid Elon Musk's SpaceX to carry him on his three-and-a-half-day space trip.
The first part of his trip — from the state of Florida to the South Pole — would be less than half an hour. At a scheduled altitude of about 270 miles (430 kilometers), his independent capsule would circle the planet in about an hour and a half, taking 46 minutes to go from one pole to the other.
Wang has visited the polar regions in person in the past and is making the trip on SpaceX's rocket because he wants to see them from space. Now a citizen of Malta, he brought three guests with him. They include Norwegian filmmaker Jannike Mikkelsen, German robotics researcher Rabea Rogg,e and Australian polar guide Eric Phillips.
