First private spacewalk a success! What the SpaceX mission means for science
Briefly

"Back at home, we all have a lot of work to do, but from here, Earth sure looks like a perfect world," said Isaacman as he prepared for his spacewalk.
"It's probably the most exciting time in spaceflight since the 1960s," says Christopher Mason, highlighting the unique position of private companies like SpaceX in advancing space exploration.
The mission could lead to new opportunities for running experiments in microgravity and expanding the limits of human space travel, paving the way for future innovations.
Civilians doing spacewalks could enable more effective repairs and maintenance of scientific instruments in space, such as the Hubble Space Telescope.
