Jared Isaacman Completes Record Private Spacewalk
News summary

Tech entrepreneur Jared Isaacman and his crew have successfully completed a five-day space mission, marking the first private spacewalk and reaching altitudes higher than any since the Apollo moon missions. Their SpaceX capsule splashed down in the Gulf of Mexico near Florida's Dry Tortugas, achieving a peak altitude of 875 miles (1,408 kilometers). Isaacman became the 264th person to perform a spacewalk, followed by SpaceX engineer Sarah Gillis, who also made history as the 265th. The mission included testing SpaceX's new spacesuits during a brief spacewalk that lasted less than two hours. This journey is part of Isaacman's Polaris program, aimed at advancing commercial space exploration, with two more missions planned. SpaceX celebrated the successful splashdown at a new location due to poor weather conditions at their usual site, with employees marking the occasion with a festive green turtle balloon.
