Today is an important day in the history of space because the Polaris Dawn mission is to plan for a spacewalk that will be the first of its kind by a private company. This orbiter is on a historic mission and is being headed by SpaceX with billionaire Jared Isaacman. However, the Polaris Dawn spacewalk risks have stirred public opinion on the safety and other difficulties associated with going into the vacuum of space.

Another factor which complicates the spacewalk is the fact that while the previous government-sponsored missions were manned by astronauts, Polaris Dawn is staffed with civilian astronauts. Extravehicular activities or EVA are generally considered as risky business, or what is commonly referred to as spacewalks. The lives of astronauts depend on their space suits as their only source of life support and anything wrong with it could be terrible. The suits to be used in Polaris Dawn are state-of-the-art, but most have been used in a private mission environment.
The risks and challenges of the missionary society include;
Radiation hazards, impacts by debris electronic equipment short circuits, and exposure to extreme temperatures are some perceived risks in today’s mission. There are risks whereby equipment may fail during the spacewalk or lose communication with the astronauts. Living in space is not very easy and even a slight error made can result in very severe repercussions.
Nevertheless, the crew of Polaris Dawn does not despair of this, although the risks are expected to be unusually high. Therefore, thoroughly prepared and equipped with the best technologies of the moment, they plan to show that private space exploration is possible in the future. The successful completion of this achievement provides room for other people to promote commercial spacewalks for travellers who are not astronauts.
What happens to them and is captured by the camera now can astonish the viewer and show that there are no limits to people’s achievements because every possible life-threatening moment in the Polaris Dawn spacewalk reminds us that people are constantly exploring the world beyond limit and the desire to see a different side of the Earth as well as to reach other planets and celestial bodies is constant and global.
