Four astronauts have launched into space, where they will aim to carry out the first ever commercial spacewalk

SpaceX is set to launch a mission that will not only see humans travel the farthest away from Earth since Apollo 17 in 1972 but also conduct the first-ever commercial spacewalk. This is in addition to nearly 40 different science experiments and an attempt to transmit data from space through the Starlink network.

The highly anticipated program has faced a series of delays from the originally planned Aug. 26 launch due to unfavorable weather conditions and a ground system issue.
