SpaceX Astronauts Conduct Spacewalk, Putting New Spacesuits to Test #WearableWednesday
Private space travel is becoming closer to reality. Last Tuesday Polaris Dawn tested out some new suits. This was the first privately orchestrated space walk. “To date, spacewalks have only been conducted by government astronauts working on missions set up by national space agencies.”
The mission, called Polaris Dawn, marked a milestone for SpaceX, which has aspirations to return humans to the moon and eventually establish a human presence on Mars. The crew members donned SpaceX-designed and manufactured suits that were previously untested in orbit.
