Two astronauts from a SpaceX capsule in Earth’s orbit carried out the world’s first private spacewalk on Thursday, tethered to the Crew Dragon spacecraft in the vacuum of space while two others watched from inside, hundreds of miles from Earth. Billionaire Jared Isaacman, 41, exited first about 6:52 a.m. ET (1052 GMT), followed by SpaceX engineer Sarah Gillis, 30, becoming the first two non-government individuals to conduct such an excursion in space. All their maneuvers streamed live on the company’s website.
