Chun Wang paid for a SpaceX flight. Three other people went with him in a Dragon capsule. The capsule had a big window so they could see everything.
The group took off from Florida on Monday night. They landed near California. This was the first time people flew around the world over the poles. It was also the first Pacific landing in 50 years.
Wang is from China but now lives in Malta. He invited three people on the trip. They were Jannicke Mikkelsen, Rabea Rogge, and Eric Philips, and they all saw amazing views.
The tourists did some tests in space. They took X-rays and did other science experiments. They named their trip after an old ship that went to the poles long ago. They even brought a piece of the ship with them.
