When I told our video producer that I wanted to make a video today about the SpaceX Polaris Dawn launch, she responded, “This story has everything! Space, mars colony, crazy space suits, and a billionaire in space.”
She’s right. Polaris Dawn is intriguing, to say the least. The commercial SpaceX mission will travel further than humans have been since the Apollo 17 mission in 1972, which was the most recent trip to the moon. And for the first time, two non-astronaut civilians – billionaire Jared Isaacman and SpaceX mission specialist Sarah Gillis – completed a spacewalk.
So, where do crazy space suits on Mars come into the picture? Check out today’s TechCrunch Minute to find out.
