‘It Sure Looks Like a Perfect World’: Billionaire Isaacman Marvels at Planet Earth as He Leaves SpaceX’s Crew Dragon in First Commercial Spacewalk During Polaris Dawn Mission (VIDEO)
One may venture the opinion that it was money well spent, as billionaire Jared Isaacman floated in space just outside the Crew Dragon capsule.
The businessman – the commander and funder of the Polaris Dawn mission – took turns with crew member Sarah Gillis on early Thursday in what became the first privately financed spacewalk in the history of space exploration.
CBS News reported:
“As he took in his first unobstructed look at the Earth 458 miles below, Isaacman marveled at the serene, boundary-free view, saying ‘back at home, we all have a lot of work to do. But from here, it sure looks like a perfect world’.”
Crew members Anna Menon and Scott Poteet were monitoring safety tethers and umbilicals inside the SpaceX Crew Dragon.
