DOORM: The launch of the Polaris Dawn mission marks another major milestone for SpaceX in the field of commercial spaceflight. This mission not only sends four astronauts into low Earth orbit but also plans to conduct spacewalks and around 40 scientific experiments. These activities will provide valuable data and experience for future commercial space travel and scientific research. Elon Musk has long dreamed of making space travel as convenient as air travel, and this mission could be a new starting point for achieving that goal. Additionally, the success of this mission will further enhance SpaceX’s competitiveness in the global space market, attracting more investment and collaboration opportunities.
