A billionaire walks across the earth

A group of civilians are scheduled to conduct the first private orbital spacewalk from a SpaceX capsule on Thursday. Newbies and veterans alike shined onstage at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards.

A normal Thursday stroll through space

Billionaire entrepreneur Jared Isaacman will become the first private astronaut to step outside a spacecraft as part of SpaceX's Polaris Dawn mission. Isaacman will hold onto a Skywalker device installed on the outside of the Dragon spacecraft, which is essentially a handrail system that will allow him to maneuver and stabilize himself – a difficult task in a pressurized spacesuit in the weightlessness of space. SpaceX has pushed back the launch time of a civilian spacewalk to just before 6 a.m. Thursday, but did not give a reason for the delay.
