Things That Got Our Attention This Week...
🎥 Watch: SpaceX's Polaris Dawn mission achieved a historic milestone by conducting the first-ever private spacewalk on yesterday morning (September 12). During the extravehicular activity (EVA), two of the ships all-civilian crew – Jared Isaacman (the tech billionaire who financed the mission) and Sarah Gillis – exited their fully depressurized Crew Dragon spacecraft into the vastness of space. They wore specially-designed SpaceX spacesuits that ensured their safety and mobility in the vacuum of space.
