Cape Canaveral, Florida | A bitcoin investor who bought a SpaceX flight for himself and three polar explorers blasted off on Monday night (Tuesday AEDT) on the first rocket ride to carry people over the North and South poles.
Chun Wang, a Chinese-born entrepreneur, hurtled into orbit from NASA’s Kennedy Space Centre. SpaceX’s Falcon rocket steered southward over the Atlantic, putting the space tourists on a path never flown before in 64 years of human spaceflight.
