A SpaceX crew has performed the first-ever commercial spacewalk.

Jared Isaacman, mission commander and funder, and SpaceX engineer Sarah Gillis were given the honor of the historic event, with the former venturing out of the Crew Dragon capsule first. The live-streamed walk occurred 430 miles above the Earth, the furthest away from the planet humans have been in 50 years, and lasted from 6:12 a.m. EDT to 7:58 a.m. EDT.
