2 Guys, 2 Gals - Private Spaceflight - Highest Ever! 🚀

Polaris Dawn - 2 guys, 2 gals in a private multi-day spaceflight to the highest altitude since Apollo (870mi or 1400km above the Earth), complete with a spacewalk in those skimpy SpaceX spacesuits. A 5-day mission, in orbit but not visiting the International Space Station, thus no hope of resupply. This short shows the launch. Another will show the spacewalk.

A lot of cheering from SpaceX employees in the background - no way to filter that out. The Spacewalk is currently scheduled for Thursday. This is a 5-day mission, returning to land on a droneship at sea. The Dragon has no airlock, so the entire crew will be exposed to vacuum during the spacewalk, with only the lightweight SpaceX spacesuits to protect them.
