At its planned heights, the mission will mark the furthest any human has traveled from Earth since the era of Apollo missions to the Moon more than five decades ago.
Isaacman thanked the flight controllers, engineers, and technicians at SpaceX that made the privately funded trip possible: 'We wouldn't be on this journey without all 14,000 of you back at SpaceX.'
This moment, if it occurs as planned, would be historic as the first private spacewalk, marking a new milestone in space exploration.
Isaacman's initiative has accelerated SpaceX's timeline to develop spacesuits for future missions, with this being version 1.0 of a suit that could be used by thousands.
