Hold onto your space helmets! 🌌 SpaceX just announced its Polaris Dawn mission, set to blast off as early as July 31, marking humanity’s first-ever commercial spacewalk. Funded by billionaire Jared Isaacman, this all-civilian crew aims to push boundaries higher than Elon’s Mars dreams.
The 5-day mission includes:
- 🪐 A record-breaking 700km Earth orbit (highest since Apollo missions!)
- 🧪 Health experiments to prep for future Mars colonies
- 📡 Testing Starlink WiFi in space (because even astronauts need memes)
This follows 2021’s Inspiration4 success, proving private spaceflights aren’t just sci-fi anymore. The Crew Dragon capsule will carry Isaacman and three others – think of it as the ultimate billionaire road trip, but vertical. 🚀
Could this mission inspire Gen Z’s #SpaceTok era? Comment below! 👇
