For the First Time, Humans Have Viewed Antarctica from Space

Chung Yang, a billionaire investor and, now, astronaut is leading a current a SpaceX private orbital mission. The Times reports that Chun and three companions have a polar orbit, passing both the north and south poles every 46 minutes in their Dragon capsule. They found Antarctica transcendentally beautiful.

The four-person crew is also conducting 22 scientific experiments focused on how the human body reacts to space travel. These experiments include the first-ever X-ray performed on a human in space.
