SpaceX crew make first-ever private spacewalk amid Polaris Dawn mission
A SpaceX crew made up of four non-professional astronauts on Thursday became the first civilians to perform spacewalks as NASA hailed “a giant leap forward” for the commercial space industry. Led by fintech billionaire Jared Isaacman, who was the first to step outside the rocket that launched on Tuesday, the Polaris Dawn mission is expected to last five days.
