I am a huge enthusiast of SpaceX but what we've seen today was not a spacewalk. The astronauts simply vented the capsule and placed half their bodies out of the hatch. Their feet never left Crew Dragon. No one stepped out of the capsule according to the broadcasted images. If there are other images of an actual spacewalk I'd like to see. The mission was probably designed this way, but SpaceX let the expectations build up around a spacewalk.

They're up there to fix that Tesla car they sent up there.

So a "spacewalk" is not really a spacewalk. They didn't even leave the vehicle completely. It's a spacepeek. Pathetic!!!

It advanced science not one tiny bit. The $ the billionaire paid for the world's most extravagant carnival ride could have been spent to do something productive or charitable. TAX THE RICH.
