Watch Two SpaceX Polaris Dawn Astronauts Take the First Ever Private Spacewalk
The future of commercial space travel seems to be here. The first-ever private spacewalk took place early morning on Thursday, September 12. Two of SpaceX‘s private Polaris Dawn astronauts, American billionaire Jared Isaacman and SpaceX engineer Sarah Gillis, took turns and spent about 10 minutes standing up out of their Dragon capsule's hatch. The pair have become the first non-professional crew to carry out what is considered one of the riskiest maneuvers in space.
