SpaceX: Listen to first-ever commercial spacewalk

The first-ever commercial spacewalk has taken place.

It was broadcast live to millions around the world through cameras on the SpaceX’s Crew Dragon spacecraft, as well as ones fitted to the helmets of the actual astronauts.

Billionaire Jarred Isaacman, who funded the Polaris Dawn mission, was the first private astronaut to carry out the spacewalk, followed by crew member Sarah Gillis shortly after.
