SpaceX Polaris Dawn: Billionaire's helmet cam shows moment of first ever private spacewalk

The billionaire Jared Isaacman and his fellow crew members completed the first privately funded spacewalk as a livestream of the SpaceX Polaris Dawn mission showed Isaacman manually opening the hatch to enter space. Upon seeing Earth, he said: 'Back at home we all have a lot of work to do but from here, the Earth sure looks like a perfect world.'

Goosebumps. I can only imagine the adtenaline rush of doing a space walk. Wish i could do it.

Going outside must have felt like standing on the top of the Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building, with only the handrail and umbilical cord holding you back. The fear of drifting into deep space and not being able to get back in must have been a “White Knuckle” experience!

They were in a high orbit not seen in 50 years to avoid lower orbit debris. The two women aboard might have set the record for the highest orbit in space for women.

Remember when Armstrong stepped foot on the moon and headlines said, “5 figure income man’s kodak shows first feet pics on...”

This spacewalk was historic and beautifully symbolic. The Dragon releases its fluid air and man crawls out into a foreign atmosphere connected only by an umbilical cord and the clumsy grasp of a glove. The future promised to us in the 60’s is finally becoming a reality thanks to these men, Elon Musk and Jared Isaacman.

Seems billionaires no longer love deep-sea diving .. I wonder why..?

Hatch of the SpaceXDawn was opened in the Van Allen Belts 800 miles above earth.
Radioactive VAN ALLEN BELTS are from 400 miles above Earth up to 36, 404miles.
How did Isaacson transmit footage from the ELECTROMAGNETIC Van Allen Belts?
Why were the crew of Space XDawn Polaris not suffering RADIATION SICKNESS?
