In this circle full of "dreams" and "memes", "To the Moon" has been shouted countless times, but this time, someone has really flown.
In the early morning of April 1, 2025, the SpaceX Fram2 mission was successfully launched. According to an official announcement from NASA, after entering orbit, the crew of Fram2 became the first humans to enter polar orbit, as well as the first humans to observe the Earth's poles from space.
The sponsor of this flight and mission commander is the Chinese crypto entrepreneur and adventurer, Chun Wang.

SpaceX has not disclosed the price of its crewed flight missions. NASA previously revealed that it pays about $55 million for each seat on the Dragon spacecraft, which means the cost of a crewed flight mission can reach up to $200 million.
From F2Pool to Space - Wang Chun's "Crypto Entrepreneurial History"
As a co-founder of the Bitcoin mining pools F2Pool and Stakefish, Wang Chun can be considered a "veteran" of the cryptocurrency industry.
He co-founded the Bitcoin mining company f2pool in 2013, and within a year it became the "largest Bitcoin mining pool in the world." Although this position is now held by Foundry USA, according to Luxor Technology's hash rate index, f2pool remains the fourth largest Bitcoin mining pool.
Wang Chun stated that although his company has mined about 1.3 million bitcoins in the past decade, his interest in crypto has "shifted" over time.
Map of Childhood – Exploring the Stars and the Sea
In 1987, 5-year-old Wang Chun saw the blank at the bottom of the Earth— the polar regions— for the first time on a world map picked up from his grandfather. This yellowed map planted the seed of exploration of the unknown in the heart of this boy from a small town in Hebei.
In 2000, 18-year-old Wang Chun left home to attend university, which truly began his travel career. To save money, he slept on the office sofa while working at a software company in Beijing and traveled home on weekends by green train, a 120-kilometer round trip. In 2007, he set an astonishing record: he traveled 75,900 kilometers by train over the weekends throughout the year, equivalent to nearly two trips around the Earth.
As of March 2025, he has taken the high-speed train 854 times and has flown 999 times—the 1000th flight will be a space journey aboard the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft.
(Chun Wang wrote that his flight aboard the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft will be his 1000th flight to date. Image source: X)
For many people, Bitcoin and mining are a way to make money, even a personal calling card, but for Wang Chun, this is just a tool for achieving his dreams.
In an interview with Space Flight Now, he stated: "Now, I find myself drawn to another emerging field—one that has interested me since I was young—space. The commercial space industry has been developing at an astonishing pace since SpaceX began recovering the Falcon 9 boosters. I see new and exciting things unfolding once again, just like when I first heard about computers and when I first discovered Bitcoin."
Exploration is humanity's most romantic rebellion against the blank spaces on the map. After completing the Fram2 mission, Wang Chun has set his sights on the deeper cosmos: "Landing on Mars will no longer be an unattainable dream. Considering the enormous possibilities, I think it's time to start saving for it..."
In any field, true wealth is not about what is on the balance sheet, but whether you dare to use it to do something worthy of being written into human history.

And Wang Chun did it.
