Chun Wang, cofundador da operação de mineração de bitcoin F2Pool, foi selecionado como comandante da missão para o primeiro voo espacial comercial tripulado da SpaceX a Marte. A missão de dois anos tem lançamento previsto para 2026.

Wang, um investidor nascido na China com cidadania maltesa e de São Cristóvão e Névis, cujo pool de mineração controla 11,3 por cento da taxa de hash global do bitcoin, liderará a tripulação. Suas participações pessoais em bitcoin superam US$ 300 milhões. O itinerário inclui um sobrevoo circum-lunar, um sobrevoo em alta altitude de Marte e um complexo retorno à Terra utilizando o veículo Starship V3.
