Billionaire's Big Step: The First Private Spacewalk Ever.

A billionaire named Jared Isaacman went to space in a rocket. He wants to do the first spacewalk by regular people, not astronauts.

Isaacman's company paid for part of the trip and SpaceX paid for the rest. They worked together to make new spacesuits for the spacewalk.

The rocket launched from Florida and will go farther than the International Space Station. Only astronauts who went to the Moon went farther than this mission.

The spacewalk will happen on the fourth day of the trip and will last for two hours. Isaacman and another person will take turns going outside the capsule.

This is the first of three space trips that Isaacman bought from SpaceX. He wants to inspire kids to explore space and maybe even walk on Mars someday.
