Overview of the Historic Space X Spacewalk
For the first time ever, space x has enabled civilians to engage in a commercial spacewalk. Although it wasn't a traditional 'walk', both participants emerged from the Dragon spacecraft, performing stretches and exercises in the vacuum of space.
Details of the Event
- Event occurred shortly after noon, with Jared Isaacman as the first to exit the spacecraft.
- Isaacman observed the Earth below, positioned at an impressive altitude of more than 700 kilometers, as the Dragon spacecraft flew over the Southern Ocean.
- Approximately twelve minutes later, SpaceX engineer Sarah Gillis followed suit.
This spacewalk symbolizes a new era in the spacex initiative to include private individuals in the thrill of space exploration.
