April 1 (UPI) -- The SpaceX rocket and spacecraft technology company will attempt to launch 27 satellites into orbit Tuesday. SpaceX announced in a press release that it will launch one of its Falcon 9 reusable, two-stage rockets at 5:06 p.m. PDT from the Vandenberg Space Force Base in Santa Barbara County, Calif.

Cryptocurrency billionaire Chun Wang and his Fram2 crew of private astronauts got a two-for-one deal this week when they watched a SpaceX rocket lift off just hours before their own launch into space.

SpaceX launched a crew of four private astronauts led by a crypto entrepreneur on a mission to orbit Earth over both North and South Poles, a new trajectory that no human has travelled before. The mission will last three to five days, during which the crew will conduct experiments on how spaceflight affects the human body.
