Polaris Dawn Debrief - A post-mission conversation with the full crew

The on-orbit portion of the Polaris Dawn spaceflight has come and gone, but the work on this historic mission continues. A week after completing the first commercial spacewalk, Jared Isaacman, Scott "Kidd" Poteet, Anna Menon and Sarah Gillis, sat down with Spaceflight Now to discuss the multi-day mission.

Speaking with reporter Will Robinson-Smith, the Polaris Dawn crew talked about their experiences on the SpaceX Crew Dragon Resilience, performing the first commercial spacewalk, conducting dozens of experiments, the outreach for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and the work ahead for the Polaris Program.
