Elon Musk’s SpaceX is still committed to launching the first commercial spacewalk after an initial delay. Named Polaris Dawn, the spaceflight was due to launch from Florida on Monday (August 26) but has been postponed due to bad weather.
The flight is the first of three missions planned by billionaire and Shift4 founder Jared Isaacman, who bought the Space X flights in 2022. Isaacman said Polaris Dawn was aiming to “push the boundaries of private spaceflight and inspire” but no official date of launch has been made public.
