Elon Musk’s SpaceX has once again pushed the boundaries of space exploration with its historic polar orbit mission launched on April 1, 2025. This mission, the first human spaceflight to traverse Earth’s polar regions, marks a significant milestone in the company’s ambitious journey to redefine space travel. Using a Falcon 9 rocket and a Crew Dragon capsule, SpaceX successfully launched four astronauts from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida at 8:50 AM IST, as announced in a recent update. Let’s dive into the details of this groundbreaking mission, its implications for global space research, and what it means for Musk’s vision of interplanetary travel.

A Pioneering Journey Over Earth’s Poles

The polar orbit mission, dubbed Fram2, is a game-changer for space exploration. Polar orbits allow spacecraft to pass over the Earth’s poles, providing a unique vantage point to map the entire planet’s surface over time. This capability is crucial for weather monitoring, climate research, and reconnaissance, as highlighted by experts. The four astronauts aboard the Crew Dragon capsule are tasked with conducting scientific experiments and collecting data that will enhance our understanding of Earth’s polar regions. SpaceX completed a full rehearsal of launch day activities on March 30, ensuring a smooth liftoff, which was widely shared on social media platforms.

Why This Mission Matters for SpaceX and Musk

For Elon Musk, this mission is more than a technical achievement—it’s a stepping stone toward his ultimate goal of colonizing Mars. The success of the polar orbit flight demonstrates SpaceX’s ability to execute complex missions, reinforcing its dominance in the space industry. With the company already responsible for over 90% of Earth’s mass to orbit in 2025, as Musk stated on March 25, this mission further solidifies SpaceX’s lead. The data gathered from the polar regions will also support future missions by improving navigation and communication systems, critical for long-duration spaceflights to Mars. Moreover, the mission strengthens SpaceX’s partnership with NASA, which has increasingly relied on the company for high-stakes operations, such as the recent rescue of astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore from the International Space Station (ISS) after a nine-month delay.

Challenges and Future Prospects

Despite the mission’s success, SpaceX faces ongoing challenges. The company has experienced setbacks, including two Starship test flight failures in recent months, which Musk humorously referred to as “rapid unscheduled disassemblies.” These incidents highlight the technical hurdles of achieving full reusability, a feat only SpaceX has accomplished to date. Additionally, Musk’s growing influence in the U.S. government, particularly through his role in the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), has raised concerns about potential conflicts of interest, especially as SpaceX secures billions in federal contracts. Critics argue that Musk’s dual roles as a government advisor and SpaceX CEO could skew priorities, but supporters see his involvement as a driver of innovation.

Looking ahead, the polar orbit mission sets the stage for SpaceX’s uncrewed Mars landing planned by the end of 2026. Musk’s vision of deploying Tesla’s Optimus robot on the Martian surface is becoming more tangible, with SpaceX’s Starbase facility in Texas producing Raptor engines at an unprecedented rate of one per day. As SpaceX continues to break barriers, the polar orbit mission underscores Musk’s relentless pursuit of making humanity a multi-planetary species, one groundbreaking flight at a time.

As most of the users who are using Smartphones of OnePlus 8 and 9 series are  Green and Pink Line issues in their Smartphones after updating their devices to OxygenOS 12 or OxygenOS 13. In OnePlus this issue occurred after the Integration of Oppo’s ColorOS into OnePlus’s  OxygenOS. In OnePlus smartphones, people have to replace their Displays to fix this issue. The Display is replaced for Free if your device doesn’t have any physical damage or dent. If you have any physical damage or dent on your device then you will be charged for the Display Replacement. Most of the users are charged for Display Replacement.

Nowadays, the same issue also occurs with a Nothing Phone 1. A user on Twitter whose username is @JB_O07 has reported that their friend is having this issue. They have a green line on their Nothing Phone 1.

Green line Nothing Phone 1

If we talk about how the reasons for this issue. So, I have read the comments below this Tweet. The reason I think is, Probably this is due to the OLED Panel used in Nothing Phone 1 Display. But according to comments. Some users said that this is due to Nothing OS 1.5.3 which is based on Android 13. But the user who Tweet tells us that this isn’t due to this update. Some say that this is due to Extreme Heating Issues. But I don’t think that the line issue is due to Extreme Heating.

Note: These are just probably. We are not sure about the real reason.

The only way to fix this issue is to just change the Display as like OnePlus smartphones. You have to visit the service center.

Free Display Replacement?

There is not any official confirmation for this but OnePlus give free Display Replacement. If the device doesn’t have any physical damage. Doesn’t matter even if it’s in warranty or out if warranty.
