well 700 kilometers above Earth history unfolded in space at Tech billionaire became the first civilian to take a walk outside a capsule and he did it wearing a brand new more modern space suit space buff ctv's Paul Hollingsworth is here and Paul tell us more about why this is so significant well Sandy it's easy to get excited on a day like this a small crew four people took a giant step forward for space exploration just before 7:00 eastern time this morning the SpaceX Dragon capsule popped open Tech billionaire Jared isaacman then ventured outside back at home we all have a lot of work to do but from here that really looks like a perfect world isaacman became the first nonprofessional astronaut to complete a space walk Mission seems to be about the same top the mobility a he was followed by SpaceX engineer Sarah Gillis retired Canadian astronaut Colonel Chris Hadfield recalls his own experience walking in space imagine if you're in a small really dark cramped room and you open this heavy door on one end and then as you pull yourself through the door you emerge out into the universe this mission is a test for these new Eva space suits according to SpaceX these lightweight suits are an overall improvement from previous suits with display capabilities in the helmet CTV Science and Technology expert Dan Riskin says these space suits are critical to the mission the added piece that they're trying to make them look cool and they're trying to make them lightweight and they're trying to make them flexible um that's a big ask for a technology that has so many life-saving roles and so testing those space suits is arguably an even bigger piece of this than the spaceship itself in the big picture Dan risken says his main takeaway from this 5-day Miss is this we are all now one step closer to a vacation on the moon or somewhere in space if we can afford the price tag Sandy okay Paul thank you
