Jason Bermas critiques the media coverage of the Polaris Dawn mission, the first all-civilian spacewalk funded by billionaire Jared Isaacman. He notes that the crew did not fully exit the craft and questions the "feel-good" narrative presented on the Today Show. Bermas highlights that the mission reached 870 miles, which is still a fraction of the distance required for lunar or Martian travel.
