The first SpaceX spacewalk: What the Polaris Dawn commander says about the bold upcoming mission

SpaceX is set to launch its next private mission on August 26th, marking the company’s first attempt at a spacewalk. The four-person crew will consist of billionaire Jared Isaacman, his colleague Scott Poteet, and two SpaceX employees. The mission, called Polaris Dawn, is part of Isaacman’s Polaris Program and will be a free-flying mission at a high altitude. The highlight of the mission will be the planned spacewalk, a first for a private venture. The crew will undergo extensive training and testing before conducting the spacewalk, which will be livestreamed.
