The recently launched Fram2 mission, which is funded and led by cryptocurrency billionaire Chun Wang, will attempt to grow mushrooms, test out hormone diapers and X-ray civilian astronauts.

From a fixed distance of roughly 1 million miles above Earth — five times the distance from here to the moon — it will follow our planet around the sun, taking in an exponentially broader view ...

High above Earth, the atmosphere begins to thin, and atoms break apart into charged particles—light electrons and heavy ions. Normally, gravity would pull the ions down while electrons ...
