Last week's Town Hall saw the presentation of the new Citizens & Teams Q3 proposal by Pablo which is now currently up for a vote (more on this proposal in a minute), but the majority of the event was focused on the live Q&A where each candidate for the executive branch answered questions posed by the community and offered their perspectives on the direction MoonDAO is going and where they want to take it in the future.

Bite-Sized Space News

New SpaceX Human Mission

SpaceX announced the first-ever human spaceflight over Earth's poles, set to launch later this year with the "Fram2" mission. Led by Chinese-born cryptocurrency entrepreneur Chun Wang, the mission will feature a polar explorer, a roboticist, and a filmmaker as crew members. The mission, named after the Norwegian research ship Fram, will fly over the north and south poles, taking advantage of maximum lighting near Antarctica's summer solstice.

The Crew Dragon Endurance spacecraft, equipped with a cupola for photography, will be used for the mission. Wang, who became a billionaire through Bitcoin mining, has long been interested in space and purchased the mission from SpaceX, marking the third free-flying mission aboard Crew Dragon. Wang's inspiration for Fram2 was drawn from previous private space missions, and the mission reflects his passion for cold regions and exploration.

Axiom-4 Mission Delay

Axiom Space's Ax-4 mission to the International Space Station (ISS) has been delayed until spring 2025 due to interagency approval processes. Originally scheduled for launch no earlier than October 2024, the mission's crew members are awaiting approval from the Multilateral Crew Operations Panel, which oversees all astronaut visits to the ISS. The Ax-4 mission, led by former NASA astronaut Peggy Whitson, will be Axiom's fourth private mission to the ISS and includes a diverse crew from India, Poland, and Hungary.
