SpaceX pulled off its first spacewalk in the early hours of Thursday morning, in a historic first for a company.
  • SpaceX pulled off its first private spacewalk.
  • Two members of the Polaris Dawn mission’s crew — Jared Isaacman and Sarah Gillis — stepped outside of SpaceX’s Dragon capsule, protected from the harsh environment of space by the company’s suits.
  • Isaacman and Gillis spent about seven minutes each outside the capsule, with a focus on testing the mobility of the spacesuits.

      Oh for sure, and by all accounts she’s really solid. He does still own the company though, so that’s definitely something.

        Oh yeah, you’re not wrong at all… I just hate the fact that Captain Stretchmarks is ruining what could be awesome science.
