That announcement Elon Musk hinted at during the Starship update is out. Jared Isaacman has announced the Polaris Program. Commercial testing of space tech on SpaceX hardware.

The program will consist of up to three human spaceflight missions that will demonstrate new technologies, conduct extensive research, and ultimately culminate in the first flight of SpaceX’s Starship with humans on board.

The crew will attempt the first commercial spacewalk with SpaceX-designed extravehicular activity suits, upgraded from the current intravehicular suit.

Polaris Dawn will be the first crew to test Starlink laser-based communications in space and will conduct scientific research to advance both human health on Earth and our understanding of human health during future long-duration spaceflights.

 
Those suits are very flexible, impressive.

But I think I might want a bigger tether than the oxygen line :ROFL:
 
I cannot wait to see what the flerfers do with this one, no doubt the copium will be Columbian grade.
 
Flat earthers, or as I think of them, the OG QAnon
You can really see the ball in the videos, far more than ISS as its much higher.

The suit movements are a bit gimicky to watch, bet you the FE will claim manipulation but the opposite is more true, the video is high def and streamed and you can actually see the movements better than ever before 😁

Yeah, my money is on literally strapping the biggest flattards onto a spaceX rocket and livestreaming their ascent to orbit to their adoring fans. Should shut them all right the **** up.
 
Was great to see. Pity much of the EVA happened on the night time side - wanted to see more helmet cam earth footage.
