SpaceX launches billionaire to conduct the first private spacewalk

A daredevil billionaire rocketed back into orbit Tuesday, aiming to perform the first private spacewalk and venture further into the final frontier than anyone since NASA’s Apollo moonshots.

Unlike his previous chartered flight, tech entrepreneur Jared Isaacman shared the cost with SpaceX this time, including developing and testing brand new spacesuits to see how they’ll hold up in the harsh vacuum of space.

If all goes as planned, it will be the first time private citizens have conducted a spacewalk, but he won’t venture away from the capsule.

Isaacman, along with a pair of SpaceX engineers and a former Air Force Thunderbirds pilot, launched before dawn aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Florida. The spacewalk is scheduled for Thursday, midway through the five-day flight.

The physics of space travel has not changed since the 60's and 70's so what is it?
The difference between generations –
There was a generation that saved humanity then came home to send people to the moon. There was no such thing as acceptable failure to them. They did not applaud and cheer when things went wrong. It was the Soviet Union that pretended something was not a failure or that it did not happen at all.

This generation, failure with phrases like unscheduled rapid disassembly to compensate for ineptitude is ok because at least you participated, and you are entitled to something. This is the same generation demanding communism in this country as they applaud and cheer total failure, then defend their own failure of character.

Then Generation – “Failure is not an option”
Today’s Generation – ‘We are not afraid of failure”
