SpaceX is gearing up to make history *again* 🌟—this time with the Polaris Dawn mission, launching Friday at 3:33 a.m. ET from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center. The crew? Four non-professional astronauts aiming to pull off the first-ever private spacewalk! 🚀👨🚀
The mission, bankrolled by billionaire Jared Isaacman, plans to soar to 1,400 km—higher than any crewed mission since the Apollo era. 🌕✨ The team will test SpaceX’s sleek new spacesuits during their cosmic stroll, pushing boundaries for future private space travel.
But it hasn’t been smooth sailing: Last week’s launch was delayed twice (thanks, Florida weather ⛈️ and a pesky tech glitch). Then, a Falcon 9 booster unexpectedly missed its landing—a rare hiccup for SpaceX’s usually reliable workhorse rocket. 🔥
If skies clear, Friday’s launch could mark a giant leap for citizen-led space exploration. #ToInfinityAndBeyond? Let’s watch! 📅🔭
