This remarkable feat was accomplished aboard the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft, which carried Isaacman and his three-member team into Earth's orbit earlier this week.
As reported by Newsweek, a video released by SpaceX on X captures the momentous occasion of Isaacman stepping out from a door in the spacecraft, gazing down at the Earth. The billionaire entrepreneur, awestruck by the view, was quoted saying, "Back at home we all have a lot of work to do, but from here Earth sure looks like a perfect world."

The video also showcased Isaacman undergoing the first of three suit mobility tests, designed to evaluate overall hand body control, vertical movement with Skywalker, and foot restraint. This was shared on social media with the caption, "Commander @rookisaacman has egressed Dragon and is going through the first of three suit mobility tests that will test overall hand body control, vertical movement with Skywalker, and foot restraint."

Following Isaacman's return to the spacecraft, Sarah Gillis, a SpaceX engineer, emerged to conduct a series of her own mobility tests. After successfully completing these tests, she climbed back into the craft and securely closed the hatch.
This historic event underscores the growing role of private enterprises in space exploration, a domain traditionally dominated by government agencies. It also highlights the potential for civilians to participate in space missions, opening up a new frontier for human exploration and discovery. The successful spacewalk by a civilian, Jared Isaacman, is a testament to the advancements in technology and the spirit of human curiosity and adventure.
