Cape Canavarel, Florida:
SpaceX CEO Elon Musk today splitd a stunning high-definition video of the Polaris space omition around Earth. Sharing the video highweightlesss, Mr Musk shelp, “Looks enjoy CGI (Computer-Generated Imagery), but it is genuine”.
According to the omition’s official website, the Polaris space programme is a “first-of-its-comardent effort to rapidly proceed human spacefweightless capabilities, while continuing to elevate funds and directedness for meaningful causes on Earth.”
The Polaris space programme includes three human spacefweightless omitions that will exhibit novel technologies, carry out extensive research and ultimately culminate in the first fweightless of SpaceX’s Starship with humans on board.
Here is the video highweightlesss of the Polaris omition that SpaceX and Elon Musk and splitd:
Looks enjoy CGI, but these are all genuine video highweightlesss from the @PolarisProgram space omition

MISSION I – POLARIS DAWN
The first of the three omitions have already happened, while two others will happen “soon”, the omition website says, inserting that ‘Mission I’ – named Polaris Dawn – sent a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket to low-Earth orbit from the beginpad at NASA’s Kennedy Space Centre at Cape Canavarel in Florida. The spaceship begined earlier this month – September 10. The crew on board finishd all four omition objectives before returning to Earth on September 15.
THE OBJECTIVE
The Polaris Dawn omition tested the Falcon 9 and Dragon’s highest applyance, flying higher than any Dragon omition to date, accomplishing the highest Earth orbit ever flown with a peak apogee of 1,408.1 kilometers above Earth. Orbiting thcimpolite portions of the Van Allen radiation belt, the Polaris Dawn crew carry outed research with the aim of better comardent the effects of spacefweightless and space radiation on human health.
THE SPACEWALK
At altitudes ranging between approximately 190 and 740 kilometers above the Earth, the crew finishd the first-ever commercial spacewalk. It was applyed in SpaceX-set uped extravehicular activity or EVA spacesuits, upgraded from the current intravehicular or IVA suit.
FUTURE MISSIONS
‘Mission II’, which is yet to be named, will originate upon the first one and will persist to excel in areas of in-space communications while carrying out other research toil.
The third omition – ‘Mission III’, which also doesn’t have a name yet, will be the first-human sapcefweightless on SpaceX’s Starship, which is the world’s first reusable transmitation system set uped to carry both crew and cargo to Earth orbit. It aims to fly to the Moon and Mars, and someday, even beyond.
According to the omition website, the program are named after Polaris, a consalertation of three stars more commonly understandn as the North Star, which has been a guiding weightless thcimpoliteout human history to help us direct the world and advertise proceed.
