- SpaceX delays the initiation of its initial private spacewalk mission

SpaceX, the renowned aerospace corporation, has pushed back the release of a venture set to feature the inaugural privately financed spacewalk. The reason for this delay is a technical hiccup, causing the initial launch, slated for Tuesday morning from NASA's Kennedy Space Center, to be moved to Wednesday as communicated by the company on Monday (local time). They're currently investigating a helium leak.

Journey to a distance above 868 miles from Earth

The duration of the "Polaris Dawn" journey sees astronauts in the spacecraft venture up to approximately 1400 kilometers away from Earth - the furthest a cosmonaut has travelled since the Apollo lunar missions. The crew consists of American billionaire Jared Isaacman, acting as mission leader, alongside pilot Scott Poteet and SpaceX personnel Sarah Gillis and Anna Menon. Isaacman, collaborating with SpaceX and tech visionary Elon Musk, funds the "Polaris" project, which encompasses three separate missions.

Despite the delay in SpaceX's first privately financed spacewalk, billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk continues to support Jared Isaacman's "Polaris Dawn" mission. The three-part project, funded by Isaacman and backed by Musk, aims to push the boundaries of space exploration.
