Watch moment billionaire Jared Isaacman returns to Earth on SpaceX rocket after historic mission

Watch the moment billionaire Jared Isaacman returned to Earth on the SpaceX rocket today (15 September) after a historic mission.

The 41-year-old floated in space in the first-ever private spacewalk on Thursday (12 September) – a major milestone for space tourism, and for SpaceX.

Mr Isaacman stepped out of his capsule while hundreds of miles from Earth, attached to a tether and watched on a live feed.

He flew alongside Anna Menon and Sarah Gillis, two SpaceX engineers. They were joined by Scott Poteet, a retired US Air Force lieutenant colonel who served as the mission’s pilot.
