SpaceX launches first tourist flight

SpaceX has launched its Crew Dragon spacecraft, the first space tourists, into orbit. The Fram2 mission will last three to five days. The mission will see the spacecraft travel in a polar orbit around Earth, passing over the North and South Poles. It will also conduct 22 scientific studies that will help expand humanity's long-term space exploration capabilities and study human health. The crew also includes Norwegian director Jannike Mikkelsen, Australian researcher Eric Phillips and Germany's first female astronaut Rabeya Rogge.
