F2Pool co-founder Chun Wang to participate in SpaceX's first interplanetary manned Starship mission, plans to return to Earth after flying past Mars

Odaily Planet Daily reported that SpaceX announced that Fram2 mission commander and F2Pool co-founder Chun Wang will participate in Starship's first interplanetary manned flight mission. The mission plans a two-year deep space flight, exiting the Earth-Moon system, flying past Mars, and returning to Earth.

Prior to this, Wang will also participate in Starship's first commercial circumlunar manned flight mission alongside Dennis Tito and Akiko Tito. This mission is expected to last approximately one week and will fly past the Moon at an altitude of about 200 kilometers from its surface.

SpaceX stated that since May 2020, the Dragon spacecraft has conducted a total of 20 missions, sending 78 astronauts from 20 countries into space. In the future, Starship will further expand commercial manned spaceflight to lunar and Martian missions.
