First Space Tourists Conduct Spacewalk and Return Safely

September 16, 2024

The first space tourists in history to perform a spacewalk have successfully returned to Earth - the SpaceX spacecraft landed normally in the Gulf of Mexico. During the mission, which lasted five days, the team reached a record altitude of 1400 km (farther than anyone has flown since Apollo 17 in 1972) and conducted several experiments in orbit, including studying the effects of cosmic radiation on the human body.
