This will be the first ever time people will orbit the earth from a polar orbit.
Also, on August 26th is the launch of Polaris Dawn which will test the first SpaceX EVA suit and surpass Gemini 11 apogee at 1400km.
Commanded by Wang and… commanded by Mikkelsen. 🤔 I guess mission vs vehicle but why not break out the captain title?

I had always wondered if anyone did a polar orbit before but was too lazy to look it up

It takes too much fuel and serves no point besides exposing the astronauts to additional radiation.
The optimal inclination from Cape Canaveral is 28 degrees, the one taken by the shuttle before the ISS missions. The only reason the ISS has an inclination of 51 degrees is because of Baikonur, the Ruskies couldn't access 28 degrees orbits from there.
