SpaceX's Starship megarocket, the world's most powerful rocket, is officially on NASA's list for future launches.

The four-person crew, led by cryptocurrency billionaire Chun Wang, will spend three to five days on a rare flight path around Earth’s poles.

During the first quarter of the year, 27 orbital rockets took flight from Florida's Space Coast. That equates to a cadence of 108 launches by year's end — a record-breaking pace that would erase last year's record of 93 annual liftoffs.

A unique mission called Fram2, paid for and led by a cryptocurrency billionaire who is flying with three guests, is set to lift off to carry the crew into an orbit around the North and South poles. Follow live news updates.

The international all-civilian Fram2 crew is the first in space history to fly to orbit with no licensed pilot or trained astronaut on board.

A SpaceX spacecraft carrying four astronauts is on a pioneering journey circling Earth over its poles after launching Monday night from Florida.

A crew of four international spacefarers on a private mission will soon seek to become the first humans to travel over Earth's poles.

After their flight was scrubbed on Wednesday, four astronauts successfully lifted off, which will allow two NASA astronauts to return to Earth after an unexpected extended stay in orbit.
