Historic First: American Billionaire Completes Civilian Spacewalk

On a groundbreaking mission, American billionaire Jared Isaacman successfully completed the first civilian spacewalk in human history aboard the SpaceX spacecraft.

Following preliminary preparations, Isaacman opened the door of the ‘Dragon’ space capsule at 7:50 pm and ventured into space, wearing a specially designed space suit developed by SpaceX.

During the spacewalk, Isaacman held onto the structure with one hand, while the other hand was free, offering a breathtaking view of the blue Earth on screen.

The spacewalk lasted approximately 10 minutes, after which Isaacman safely returned to the capsule.

Notably, this spacewalk differed from those of professional astronauts, as Isaacman did not float through space while attached to a rope.

The ‘Polaris Dawn’ mission, led by billionaire and airline pilot Isaacman, was initially scheduled to launch at 3:20 pm but was postponed once without explanation.

Alongside Isaacman, the crew includes retired Air Force pilot Scott Kidd, and female SpaceX engineers Sara Gillis and Anna Menon.

The team plans to conduct 36 research experiments in outer space and attempt laser-based communication via Starlink satellites before returning to Earth.

• Conduct 36 research experiments in outer space
• Attempt laser-based communication via Starlink satellites

Crew Members:

• Jared Isaacman – Billionaire and airline pilot
