Polaris Dawn Commander, Pilot provide update on free-flying Dragon mission and SpaceX spacesuits

As SpaceX continues to fly both six-month crew rotation missions for NASA and private astronaut missions for Axiom Space, it's also working towards its next free-flying mission: Polaris Dawn.
This is the first of three planned, commercial astronaut missions for the Polaris Program, an initiative spearheaded by entrepreneur and Inspiration4 Commander, Jared Isaacman. He along with Pilot Scott "Kidd" Poteet, Mission Specialist Sarah Gillis and Mission Specialist/Medical Officer Anna Menon will conduct the first non-governmental spacewalk, exiting from a Crew Dragon spacecraft during a roughly 5-day mission.
Isaacman and Poteet recently spoke with Spaceflight Now's Will Robinson-Smith about the progress towards their mission and the state of the spacesuit development.

I am both impressed with this deeper investigative dive into the Polaris Dawn expedition and the fact that Spaceflight Now is becoming a serious space exploration information outlet that I can sufficiently rely on to update me.

Space Suit design and engineering is so cool!

[@user-fr3hy9uh6y]

I love space news. Repeating something that was first done almost 60 years ago is just plain cool. It makes you wonder what Aleksey felt like in 1965.

Thank you SFN for another great update for us space geeks out here!

[@glencrandall7051]

these people have to place a lot of faith in their training. If an airplane fails during testing the pilot can eject. If a spaceship fails it is probably a fatal situation.🙂🙂

Great crew, great mission. Thank you for this report!

[@thomascharlton8545]

Great to see a non-government entity advancing this technological capability.

Is there a link to the full panel discussion?

What brand of watches are they wearing?

So, the new SpaceX EVA suit will NOT be designed for surfaces of Moon, Asteroids, or Mars ?? . . . needs more clarity on reporting here.
