to cheers for Mission Control Jared isaacman hauled himself from the relative safety of his capsule and emerge to stand in the void of space 400 miles above planet Earth back at home we all have a lot of work to do but from here birth Ser looks like a perfect world the first space walk by a nonprofessional astronaut on a mission funded by the tech billionaire himself and just a thin experimental space suit between him and the certain death of a vacuum space is trying to kill you you wouldn't without the protection of a space suit or a vehicle you know survive very long at all in space space walks have been very much a part of the sort of state run systems and space flight in terms of Ros Cosmos NASA and Esa and stuff so it's amazing to see a private individual a private Enterprise doing that with hatch open and no protective airlock the entire spacecraft was exposed to the vacuum of space even those staying on board wore space suits to stay alive stand in the door and then step outside then it was the turn of Sarah Gillis a SpaceX engineer really cool to see one of our own out there that's awesome this space walk was all about the suit Elon Musk needs a design fit for astronauts to wear while building bases on the the moon and Mars it looks very practical and I think as you say it could be mass-produced if we're ever going to send a lot of people out into space uh in serious numbers then we have to be able to build these things more quickly and at lower cost for the crew of Polaris Dawn this was a Triumph only the commander has ever been to space before and that was just once yet they pulled off a daring Space Walk and they made it look easy Thomas Mor Sky News
