SpaceX Polaris Dawn spacewalk! See the first-ever private egress from crew

During the spacewalk (also known as an extravehicular activity, or EVA), Polaris Dawn crewmembers Jared Isaacman (seen here) and Sarah Gillis exited their fully depressurized Crew Dragon spacecraft in specially-designed SpaceX spacesuits.

I really don't understand all the negative and cynical comments. This was their first attempt to totally depressurize the capsule and the first time they had tried the spacesuit in open space. They can't just go out and fly around the capsule.  When you come out as a baby you don't just stand up and run around the town.

testing out a new suit while in orbit and sticking out of the craft that has got to be one scary ass thing to experience

So I am an old guy meaning I was alive to see the first US man walk in space. Ed White emerged from Gemini IV inside a giant space suit. The new space suit looks so slim.
Way to go Space X.Good on you guys.

As an engineer, I can only say that the talent of the SpaceX engineering teams are nothing less than out of this world ....

how he didn't shout "HELL YEAH" after seeing earth like that is crazy. He was focused on the mission but also LOOK AT IT

Congratulations space x polaris Dawn. So nice for a positive event to witness instead of negative news. One step closer to Mars

"up here - it looks like a perfect world" -Jared Isaacman

When he said that... 😭 It hit hard

This brings tears to my eyes. We are baby birds leaving the nest and we are on the verge of becoming something greater.

The other three astronauts in the capsule are saying, "We're spacewalking A hard vacuum is a hard vacuum. Sticking out of the hatch is just the icing on the Danger Cake. It's all dangerous.

I was 11 years old in 1965 when Ed White did the first space walk by a US astronaut. That was so exciting. At now 70 years old, this Polaris Dawn EVA is just as exciting to me. Congrats to SpaceX.

I watched the first US space walks from an old B&W TV…Now watching it live on a big screen 4k TV via WiFi and so many other changes in our lives 🎉👍🏻😁🧐

The world needs more stuff like this broadcasted. When we work together as one we can achieve amazing things!

[franceitalyproperty]

There are no good words that can describe how ambition, hard work, and passion can achieve these goals. BRAVO!

[paulkersey]

Let never forget the brave souls of the Gemini project that did this in the mid 60's.

man that looks so beautiful. i can only imagine how terrifying it is seeing the earth fade to black as it turns though.

it's like you're out there and don't know how you're gonna get back :o

Absolutely amazing achievement by Space X well done! I hope I’m around to see the first Mars landing.

Incredible to watch Commander Isaacman emerge from the Dragon Spacecraft from the comfort of my bed. Growing up in the 80’s without smartphones or internet makes you appreciate the technology we now have
