Spacex Private Funded Spacewalk

SpaceX launched its daring Polaris Dawn mission on Tuesday, a multiday orbital expedition carrying a four-member civilian crew for the first spacewalk by non-professional astronauts.

SpaceX's latest mission is part of the Polaris Program, a human-spaceflight initiative funded by billionaire entrepreneur Jared Isaacman. Polaris Dawn is set to make history by conducting the first-ever private spacewalk, with Isaacman commanding the mission alongside pilot Scott "Kidd" Poteet, and SpaceX engineers Sarah Gillis and Anna Menon.
