00:00SpaceX unveils incredible footage of Earth's poles, marking historic first human orbit of this region.

00:08On April 1st, 2025, SpaceX's FRAM-2 mission sent humans into polar orbit, a challenging milestone in spaceflight.

00:18Traditionally for satellites, polar orbit's complexity and risks were overcome,

00:23marking significant progress and expanding human space exploration possibilities.

00:30Polar orbits, new to human spaceflight, cross both poles and require more energy, stressing rockets and crew.

00:39Polar orbits pose radiation risks due to weak magnetic shielding, but are vital for climate and weather research.

00:46SpaceX's FRAM-2 added extra shielding to Dragon, showing NASA SpaceX teamwork on complex missions.

00:53Frequent polar flights raised radiation exposure, needing constant checks and backup plans.

01:02Mentally tough, with stunning views interrupted by light patterns and signal gaps.

01:08Crew check-ins supported endurance while documenting auroras and gathering key data.

01:14FrAM-2 revolutionized missions via polar orbits for full Earth coverage, enabling real-time monitoring of ice, weather and oceans.

01:26Crucial for science, it sets a strategic precedent for future Moon and Mars missions, showcasing effective operations.

01:33Crew check-ins supported by the
