PANews reported on August 13 that in response to SpaceX's manned polar flight mission this year, F2Pool co-founder Chun Wang said on the X platform: "I have been looking forward to this mission for 2 and a half years. From mission proposal, planning, orbit design to team selection, all work is done by the customer. And now, we are here. Until 2021, space missions have been the exclusive privilege of the government. Private individuals cannot book a space shuttle like they book an airplane. Then, Inspiration4 came along and it changed everything. This is a space tourism mission, but it is very different from previous space tourism. In the history of space travel, this is the first time that private individuals have been able to rent an entire spacecraft to plan, design and execute their own personalized missions with clear goals. This should never be underestimated. Then we saw the Polaris Project (Polaris) “I’ve read a lot of science fiction about the first human mission to Mars, and they’re usually led by NASA or some fictional government. Few people dared to imagine such a mission being carried out by a private organization. But now, I am more and more convinced that one day we will get to Mars—and it may be a person or a company, not a country, that gets there.”
Earlier news, SpaceX will carry out a manned polar flight mission this year, led by cryptocurrency entrepreneur Chun Wang.
