The pair left the Crew Dragon craft in turn, with Isaacman going first. While outside of the vehicle, they conducted a number of motions to test out the mobility of their suits, designed by the Elon Musk-led company.
“Back at home we have a lot of work to do but from here, it looks like a perfect world,” Isaacman said shortly before 7 am New York time, as he emerged out of the nose of the vehicle and looked down at the Earth below him.
The Polaris Dawn mission also made history on Tuesday when the SpaceX Dragon capsule reached a peak altitude
of 1,400 kilometres (870 miles) above Earth, sending the crew farther than any humans have travelled since the
Apollo program that sent astronauts to the moon.
Before the spacewalk, the capsule lowered its altitude to between 195 and 737 kilometres (121 and 458 miles).
