Historic SpaceX Flight: First Tourists to Fly Around the Earth's Poles.

A man named Chun Wang paid for a SpaceX trip. He and three others flew over the North and South poles. This was the first time people have flown over the poles in space.

The rocket took off from Florida. It went south over the Atlantic Ocean. The trip will take about three and a half days.

Wang wanted to see the poles from space. He also wants to share what he learns. He took three guests with him, including a filmmaker and a polar guide.

The crew will do experiments in space. They will also take many pictures. They named their trip Fram2, after a famous ship.

No one had ever flown so far north or south in space before. This flight may help people learn about climate change. Wang thinks space travel is becoming more common.
