there was that delay in polaris dawn launching. it was supposed to happen last month and then on the actual day that it launched, it had to be delayed a couple of hours because of thunderstorms, but it would say i'm very still, janet, tell us how important i guess the weather was for the splashdown again, when you're splashing down, you also don't want to be combating hurricane kinds of winds are waves and any kind of real turbulence. >> there. it's like especially after re-entry and every thanks. so the weather is hugely important. again, to say, the most important resource and all of human spaceflight are humans. >> so you're going to want to make sure that every, every last mario is favorable and so it was super wise for them to wait. >> i'm sure that it was a little daunting to be ready. and he did go and then have to wait very after day and that but again, we're seeing completely calm seas and that's exactly what this crew deserves upon arrival back miles i'm interested in the medical checks now that the crew will go through c

t plus 35 seconds into the polaris dawn mission. they are billionaire jared isaacman, who's paid for the mission and is the commander, his close friend scott "kidd" poteet, a retired air force pilot, and two spacex engineers, anna menon and sarah gillis. stage separation confirmed. applause. that's the successful separation of the first stage. a critical moment now over, next stop, space. the spacecraft will reach a maximum altitude of 870 miles above the earth. that's nearly three and a half times the distance to the international space station, which is 250 miles. its orbit will take it through a region of space that's higher in radiation, called the van allen belt, which starts at about 600 miles. but the astronauts should be safe inside the spacecraft. isaacman and gillis will be carrying out a two—hour spacewalk below the radiation belt at 435 miles. the astronauts have been training for the spacewalk for more than two years. they'll be wearing extravehicular activity, or eva spacesuits, that have been upgraded to withstand the

spacex has done this many times before, but there was nothing routine about the polaris dawn mission.cex has ever taken astronauts before. um, it actually went up three times higher than the the orbit of the international space station so that it could dip into the radiation belts to understand the effect of that on the human body. um, it then came down a little bit in orbit and then performed this most amazing spaceflight, in which all four astronauts were actually exposed to the vacuum environment. billionaire jared isaacman became the first private sector astronaut to have carried out a spacewalk on thursday, followed by his crew member sarah gillis. the crew went higher than any other since the apollo astronauts of the 19605 and �*705. mr isaacman has paid for two further missions in which he's likely to push the boundaries of human spaceflight even further. pallab ghosh, bbc news. it's one of television's big nights later with the emmy awards taking place in los angeles. shows including hits like baby reindeer and the crown are vying for recognition. before that, though, is was t

and so what we saw spacex doing today and the proof of polaris dawn was venturing out into the vacuum of space and testing out these brand new space suits from spacex and so you saw them sort of moving slowly. and what they were doing was doing mobility tests inside these spacesuits. they were testing out how they moved, how they worked, how they felt in space. it's really difficult to move these pressurized spacesuits even though you're in microgravity and you're waitlist, the suits are pressurized and so it takes some figuring out how they move in in space. and so what these space walkers were doing is collecting data for the spacex engineers back on the ground so that they can get back to work and design the next iteration of the spacesuits with the ultimate goal being to design spacesuits that someday will be worn on the surface of mars. so that spacex is big goal to make life humanity multi-planetary and today was one small step forward towards that big goal. boris kristin fisher thank you so much. >> also, out of this world, humanity just broke the record for the most people in

the polaris dawn mission — funded by the billionaire jared isaacman — launched from the kennedy space florida on tuesday. he and an engineer sarah gillis will wear a new type of space suit that can be worn both inside and outside the capsule, so there's no need for an airlock. it's the first time this equipment has been tested in space. during its mission the spacecraft reached a maximum altitude of 870 miles — or 1,400 kilometres — above earth. that's nearly 3.5 times the distance to the international space station — at 250 miles or 400 kilometres. the space walk itself — which is scheduled to last about two hours in all — will take place about 435 miles — or 700 kilometres — above the earth. to talk us through what we can expect is our science correspondent pallab ghosh who is with me in the studio. iam i am saying all these numbers and figures butjust put this into context for us.- and figures butjust put this into context for us. they are the numbers. _ into context for us. they are the numbers. the _ into context for us. they are the numbers. the point - into context for us. they

that is the polaris dawn mission commander jared isaac, men.many of you are wondering what on earth is he doing? up there? what does all of this mean what he's doing is he's taking the soup through a series of mobility checks. he's moving all of his joints and limbs and seeing how this spacecraft space suit fields and moves in the vacuum of space and that's really the whole purpose of this spacewalk. right? like this crew wants to take the lessons that are learned from this spacewalk, bring it back to the spacex engineers on the ground and say, hey, this is what work, this is what didn't work. and then spacex engineers can get to work on making those changes because someday these are the space suits that spacex wants to use. when humans first land on mars but just what a moment for the commander, jared isaac min here because, you know, he first flew to space, kasie three years ago as the commander of inspiration four. and the whole purpose of that mission was to, as the name says, inspire people and let people know that you don't have to be a n

now to space because as you have been hearing in the last few hours, the crew of the spacex polaris dawn to walk in space. it's a huge boost for the commercial space industry — and for elon musks' spacex rocket company which he founded over two decades ago. already the world's richest person, musk�*s wealth could receive another huge boost from spacex if it goes ahead with selling shares. it's now thought to be valued at more than $200 billion — around 40% is owned by musk. joining me now is kate arkless gray, a space journalist. kate, what does this tell us about space x's dominance in the industry? this is a really exciting mission, the first time any commercialflight has mission, the first time any commercial flight has attempted something like this but it isn't really the core of the business that they do which is launch services. they definitely are the key player in launching rockets and payloads and now they are able to launch pretty much once per week if not more than that. that is where their true strength lies but they have been doing more and more with commercial space mission
