Earth ‘looks like a perfect world’, billionaire says on first private spacewalk

First non-professional astronauts walk in space

A billionaire who stepped out on the first private spacewalk declared that “Earth sure looks like a perfect world”, as he emerged from a spacecraft and looked back at the planet.

Tech entrepreneur Jared Isaacman carried out a number of mobility tests on a new spacesuit and was the first of two crew members to step out into space.
