The Polaris Program’s Polaris Dawn crew performed the first-ever spacewalk from Dragon, travelled farther from Earth than anyone since the Apollo program, and used Starlink to connect with those back on Earth

It was officially the first private Extra Vehicular Activity. The whole Dragon capsule had all air removed in order for the hatch opening to complete. The crew were half in the capsule and half out as we all could see. The suit performed admirably While there were a lot of firsts for this mission, space walking was not among them.

Apollo 9s stand up eva was far more ground breaking- not having a backpack limits this EVA to a clumsy tethered affair - watch how restricted the modified ascent suits look - and having no airlock is asking for trouble - what if the hatch didn't seal?

If that was a spacewalk, I must have missed it.  At no point do the astronauts actually step off of the platform into space. Sure they climed out into space, but they never actually let go of the spacefcraft (ergo, NOT A SPACEWALK).

Astonishing and an unbelievable achievement. Elon Musk with his Starlink, parent SpaceX, xAI, Tesla, the Boring Company and Neuralink is surely a tech genius and the entrepreneur of the century. And xAI’s Grok 2 with its “fun mode” is the only LLM with a sense of humor 😊
