SpaceX plans a new mission that will include the first private space walk
SpaceX is planning to launch a new mission aiming to achieve the very first all civilian space walk. The Polaris Dawn crew is set to embark on a five-day mission launching this summer on SpaceX’s DragonX with the goal to fly higher than any other Dragon mission to date and to reach the highest Earth orbit ever flown.

The interviewer's enthusiasm is palpable. I'm glad she was chosen to conduct this interview.
Go Polaris! Go SpaceX!
Amazing work! 🚀
Can't imagine the excitement for Anna & Sarah to work for SpaceX and the opportunity to go to space,amazing.
My fellow Space Nerds, how nice is it when a mainstream reporter can ask educated and intelligent questions, and not just knee-jerk stupid reactions.
Mr.Beast should do this.

Costs too much for him. He makes about $50m a year, but most of that goes towards paying his staff. A mission like this would cost at least a couple hundred million. Maybe in a few years when prices drop and he's making more.
Good luck.
Excellent interviewer! So exciting what Jared, the entire crew and SpaceX are doing on this mission!
Godspeed Polaris!!
An important and inspiring mission. Safe travels!
I love hearing about Jared IsaacSON and his mission aboard the DragonX capsule. Well done NBC, LOL.
Can’t wait
If only you reported on things like this, imagine. Youd go bankrupt, because it doesn't involve hate.
1:02 He meant farthest SINCE the last time humans went to the moon. Not farther _than_ that. (Not even close.)

Billionaires on transatlantic flights were not a toehold for civilian aviation. But prices got lower, and today the middle class can afford this trip.
❤❤❤❤❤❤ good luck guys
Things work sometimes they fail... volatility in the Central Americas
So was the other space walk crowded 🤷
I think there should be a competition or Random Pick of 1 person from each country to go on this Adventure well its an Adventure to me anyway ❤🎉
Let’s gooo

What? Falcon 9 is one of the most reliable rockets ever flown.
Oh media gotta throw in there all female spacewalk. They probably got lost haha. Btw Shhhhh whisper that one dude has giant ears. You’re probably gonna blow out his eardrum talking at normal volume!! Btw wouldn’t it be Polaris plan/mission and they just hired SpaceX to provide a ride and capsule?? Or teamed up with SpaceX on some of it? How does that work?
USA spaceshuttle was never but a garbage with rockets and a capsule with wings ;)) wonder why this garbage was so expensive ;))

No matter how much they train, the only one truly qualified to go on this mission is the retired Astronaut. Two years is NOT long enough. Mountain climbing is not space travel. Space Is Hard and Soace KILLS.
