SpaceX astronauts will test this breakthrough equipment in risky spacewalk
Unlike NASA’s endeavors, there are no U.S. standards or laws for spaceflight safety in private missions like SpaceX’s Polaris mission.
SpaceX’s attempt at the first ever private spacewalk next week will be a test of trailblazing equipment, including slim spacesuits and a cabin with no airlock, in one of the riskiest missions yet for Elon Musk’s space company.
