Interview with Polaris Dawn Commander Jared Isaccman

While I was at Starbase for the Starship flight 4, I got the opportunity to interview the upcoming Polaris Dawn Mission Commander, Jared Isaccman in conjunction with Ellie in Space.

Ellie has already put out her full video, but there were some questions and discussion that were not included in her video.

With her permission, I made this companion video with more questions and dialogue with Jared, further exploring topics such as the spacesuit design, experiments to combat Space Adaptation Sickness and how SpaceX and the Polaris Dawn crew intend to mitigate issues with suit over inflation leading to difficulties re-entering the Dragon capsule once the EVA commences.

I hope you find this information and discussion helpful and informative and puts more into context what the Polaris Dawn program is trying to achieve and understand what to look for in the upcoming July mission.

Thank you to Jared for taking the time to answer our questions and providing great answers! Thanks also to Ellie in Space for inviting me to be a part of this interview!
