The crew spent five days in orbit on a mission that includes the first spacewalk by astronauts from the commercial sector.

SpaceX successfully launched a crew of four—including a billionaire—as part of a private space mission known as Polaris Dawn early Tuesday, as the company looks to make history with the first-ever private spacewalk and the furthest crewed space flight since NASA’s Apollo moon missions more than 50 years ago.

SpaceX early on Tuesday launched an all-private astronaut crew to orbit that intends to make history by completing the first spacewalk conducted by nongovernment astronauts, as well as traveling farther than any human spaceflight mission since the Apollo moon landings.

In an exclusive interview, the four Polaris Dawn crew members opened up about seeing the planet from orbit and conducting the first all-civilian spacewalk.

Four private astronauts are back on Earth after a five-day mission that set firsts and broke records in an effort to advance human spaceflight.

KTVU's Heather Holmes and Greg Lee take an in-depth look at the historic spaceflight with Berkeley Space Lab's Abhishek Tripathi.

SpaceX’s Polaris Dawn mission set new records in space exploration, including the first private spacewalk and the highest orbit since the Apollo era. The mission’s success marks a significant step forward for commercial space ventures.
