NASA astronauts’ historic first private spacewalk: SpaceX capsule returns to Earth 

SpaceX has done it again as the Dragon capsule made it back to the earth as a result of the first-ever private spacewalk. The mission that presented one of the primary goals of private space flight, took the crew of four civilian astronauts to space and successfully made an astonishing spacewalk that became a victory for SpaceX and commercial space exploration. 

The capsule descended safely into the water and a few feet away from the coast of Florida and after several days of the mission the capsule hit the big points. This crew comprised of private astronauts and embarked on this particular campaign with the assistance of the SpaceX equipment and spacecraft demonstrating the capabilities of non-governmental space tourism. The spacewalk was one of the most exciting events that witnessed the fact that civilians can go ahead and perform stunts that were previously regarded as exclusive for government trained astronauts. 

Highlights 

1- SpaceX Dragon capsule back to earth after the first ever private spacewalk was done to achieve the company’s breakthrough in the commercial space travel industry. 
 

2- The mission was performed by four private astronaut, equipped with SpaceX cutting-edge equipment and expertise.

This private spacewalk lasted for approximately 90min and the astronauts floated outside the Dragon capsule to perform some maintenance activities as well as admire the beauty of the Earth. This will be a major advancement in commercial space exploration and encourage other societies to engage in similar missions. Elon Musk’s SpaceX has been mainly involved with launching civil space missions and this event in the coming days people other than astronauts will be able to feel how it is to travel in outer space beyond the earth’s atmosphere.

This mission is closely aligned with the company’s long-term strategic direction of democratizing space. But it also shows how far commercial space travel has progressed, shifting the journey beyond the stars from a strictly government operation into an enterprise zone. Thanks to achieving this mission, SpaceX is gradually opening the era for space tourism as well as research and exploration by private players.
