SpaceX's Fram2 Mission: A Polar Orbit Premiere and a Tale of Space Sickness

SpaceX's privately funded Fram2 mission concluded successfully, with four passengers completing a unique flight aboard a Crew Dragon capsule, marking the first time humans have flown directly over the Earth's North and South Poles. Bankrolled by cryptocurrency billionaire Chun Wang, the crew conducted various research projects, including capturing aurora images and documenting space motion sickness. While space sickness proved a challenge, the crew overcame it, achieving several 'firsts,' including the first West Coast splashdown and a self-conducted egress experiment. This mission provided valuable scientific data and showcased the potential of private space exploration.
