A New Area: The First Spacewalk by Private Person Jared Isaacman, Who is Very Rich.

A tech billionaire named Jared Isaacman went on a spacewalk outside his SpaceX capsule. This was the first time a private citizen, not a professional astronaut, did a spacewalk.

The spacewalk was short, lasting less than two hours, and focused on testing new SpaceX spacesuits. Isaacman was joined by SpaceX engineer Sarah Gillis, who also got to experience the vacuum of space.

During the spacewalk, they stayed connected to the capsule and mainly moved their arms and legs to test the suit's flexibility. They did not float freely like astronauts do at the International Space Station.

This mission was part of Isaacman's Polaris program, which aims to push the boundaries of private spaceflight. He believes that spacewalks, while risky, will become a sought-after experience for wealthy space tourists.

The successful spacewalk was praised by SpaceX and NASA as a significant step for commercial space exploration. It opens up the possibility of more daring and ambitious missions led by private individuals in the future.
