In this mission, 41-year-old billionaire Jared Isaacman stepped out of his spacecraft for the first time. He said, “We all have to do a lot of work from home. But from here the Earth looks like a perfect world. During this, half of the Earth behind him was in darkness and the other half was filled with light. After this, SpaceX engineer Sarah Gillis also came out and together they traveled in space for about 20 minutes.
How long did you stay in space?
Preparation for the spacewalk took about two hours. During this time, everyone’s spacesuits were attached to their spaceships. The duration of this spacewalk was only 30 minutes, during which they tested and tested their spacesuits. SpaceX’s goal is to create spacesuits that are more comfortable than traditional space suits and look like normal clothes.
What did NASA say?
The NASA chief congratulated him for this historic achievement. He said, congratulations to the entire SpaceX team for this first commercial spacewalk. This success is an important step for NASA and the American space economy.
The purpose of this mission was to use spacesuits manufactured in space. These suits are different from traditional space suits and fit on the body like clothes. Isaacman said that we will need these suits when we try to establish colonies in space. He and Musk discussed that they want as many spacesuits as possible, but at a low cost, so that thousands of suits can be available in the future.
There are also plans to go to the Moon and Mars
During this mission, Isaacman said that this is a big goal and we will soon have to do more missions for human settlement on the Moon and Mars. Thus, SpaceX has taken a step in a new direction, which can prove to be important in making space travel more accessible and safe in the future.
