Watch SpaceX launch the FIRST commercial spacewalk, Polaris Dawn!!!

ALL PROCEEDS OF THIS STREAM GO TO SAINT JUDE CHILDREN'S RESEARCH HOSPITAL
The Polaris Dawn mission, is launching on Spacex's Falcon 9 NET September 10th, 2024 at 3:38 a.m. Eastern [7:38 UTC], from Kennedy Space Center's LC-39A. It aims to achieve several firsts, including the highest altitude reached by humans since the Apollo missions, conducting the first private spacewalk, and testing new technologies like intersatellite laser communications with Starlink. This mission, led by Jared Isaacman, not only pushes the boundaries of space exploration but also includes significant scientific research, focusing on health impacts in space, all while raising funds for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

Good call to have John Inspruker for the announcer. His voice is electric and he is brilliant. I was happy to hear him back for this launch.

[@paulmichaelfreedman8334]

Fun fact, "Inspruker" seems to be a kind of mix between dutch and german of the word "Speaker" although the true origin is probably "Innsbrucker" which is a person from Innsbruck, Austria. But the speaker coincidence is nice.

[@ehudgavron9086]

Tim, I remember when you pioneered the Internet "Guy with a desire to learn following SpaceX" and now there are outfits that are commercial. You pioneered "get more gear" so you could travel to Florida and California. Your feeds would cut out. And you persisted. Now SpaceX puts their videos on their ElonX network (formerly ElonTwit or Xitter or whatever) and SOMEHOW you still bring us Jesse and John and the Hawthorne team. This launch will not be known as much except by space geeks until the mission is successfully over, and at that point we will have witnessed THE MOST HISTORIC MANNED SPACEFLIGHT of half a century. Thank you for bringing it to my screen here at home. Likely as I "recover" from days of waiting... watching B1056 fall over, the FAA do their stupid reactonary useless grounding of the "fleet", thinking of the highest apogee for manned space (90%+ of people I talk to glaze over at "apogee" or "perigee" and even "polar orbit."). I can't believe we (the human race) are finally here (again?). So I guess the commercial outfits will get their millions of likes. YOU have MINE. It may not mean much to you, but in my family and household, Tom Dodd, THE EveryDay Astronaut... you are a hero for bringing this to us. Falcon and Viper test pilots can handle 4G without breaking a sweat or puking yesterday's soup or clutching their privates. The rest of have to get out of bed and stand up in AS MUCH AS 1G. I hope you sleep well knowing what you've brought to your viewers and fans. Ehud Tucson Arizona Hot.

I've gotta say, these advances in the science and technology space X and the other civilian space companies is just next level. As a kid in the 60's watching star trek, living 8 miles as the crow Flys from Aerojet going out watching all the booster engine test firings and having both technicians and scientists for next door neighbors it just makes this all so much more exciting. Go go go!

[@richardeverett1227]

This is awesome and I am very glad Jared and crew are willing to put themselves out there to advance commercial space programs! I do wonder at the recent claim that if all goes well on Starship testing, a crew could be launching for Mars in 4 years. I always assumed 20 years...sort of like fusion.

[@interestedinstuff]

Well gee that was groovy. I hope the EVA goes ok. We'll all know soon enough.

[@rbrtck]

3-4 g is not a problem for most people, I'd imagine. If you can give a thumbs up during a rollercoaster ride, then you can do it during ascent in a Dragon, because the forces are comparable. Many people even raise their hands and arms straight up. No big deal.

[@UncleKennysPlace]

It does last much longer on a launch, minutes versus seconds. But I've had a sustained 3G, it's quite tolerable, but tiring.

[@mobiuscoreindustries]

The issue is roller-coaster Gs are prompt, nothing more than a few seconds. These are sustained, meaning that while absolutely within the tolerance of the human body it's something you need to get acclimated to endure for the time you will be enduring it.

[@mikezappulla4092]

Roller coasters, as is with most attractions as theme parks, are more about positive G’s versus negative G’s. People tolerate negative G’s much better.

[@rbrtck]

@@mobiuscoreindustries True, the experience as a whole is not the same, but my point was that the level of g force is comparable, and therefore there is nothing amazing about being able to give a thumbs up.

[@rbrtck]

@@mikezappulla4092 What? There is no way that people tolerate negative g force better. Your blood would rush to your head! Negative g force is not something even fighter pilots and their fighters are expected to tolerate much of. As for astronauts, they are usually effectively lying down relative to their acceleration vector, which helps them tolerate high g force better (makes it easier on them) than with positive or negative g. This is certainly the case during launch and orbital insertion.

[@WritingforHollywood2024]

I know for you, Tim, this is on a whole other level than most of us due to your proximity to the program and the industry. I am sorry what happened with Steve but I sincerely believe you will be there too someday. Thank you for taking us on your journey.

In future history, when people living elsewhere in the solar system look back, they will see missions like this a much more important than most people today see them.
