[Music] and this may look like any other Mission into space but Polaris Dawn is different it's led by one billionaire using the rocket of another to fly further from Earth than humans have traveled in half a century power in tet nominal where its crew will empty the air from their craft and walk in space these are risks only National Space agencies have taken before when we're in space yes we lose bone and we lose muscle and our cardiovascular system changes but that's all because we're adapting to our environment but it's problematic when we come back to earth which is why we need counter measures in space if we plan on returning we do need our space Cowboys and we do need you know people to take those risk for us in 1965 the Soviet Union and the US raced to take the first space walk both were near fatal but soon space walking astronauts repaired Skylab put a new lens on the multi-billion dollar Hubble Space Telescope and built the International Space Station but it's still dangerous an Italian astronaut nearly drowned in his own suit when his breathing system leaked in 2013 and most governments cannot afford accidents in space for Polaris Dawn experts say the most dangerous moments of this Mission will come as the crew empties and refills their vessel with a air when they face risks of flammability and decompression sickness the riskiest part of it is that you threw away your atmosphere and then you have to rebuild it after the mission if there's microm meteorite contact then it was one hell of an unlucky day there's been two years of preparation going into this the majority of that time focused on this operation SpaceX is now the only private space company up there and it wants answers fast about how far it can push its astronauts my main concern is that because this activity is done with absolutely talented and very good people but without an independent group of experts like typically is done a safety review panel the devil is in the details and something may Escape polaron is not the first private civilian Mission but it is the first to perform an extreme human experiment far from Earth and likely won't be the last Colin Baker alaz make sure to subscribe to our channel to get the latest news from Al jaer
