4:53Now PlayingSpaceX's Polaris Dawn mission has made history after the all-civilian crew carried out the first ever private spacewalk.
American billionaire Jared Isaacman was the first to exit the Dragon capsule at around 10.52 GMT on Thursday, entering the vacuum of space for the first time.
He has joined a small group of spacewalkers who, until now, have included only professional astronauts from a dozen countries.
A round of applause erupted in SpaceX HQ as the spacecraft hatch first opened.
In a live feed relayed back to Earth, Commander Isaacman could be heard saying: "Back at home we all have a lot of work to do, but from here, Earth sure looks like a perfect world."
Tom Swarbrick speaks to Dr Christopher Pattison, space science expert from the Institute of Cosmology and Gravitation at the University of Portsmouth. He says this historic moment is 'an important step towards being able to travel to the Moon or Mars.'
