Join the TSN team as we host a special interview with Scott "Kidd" Poteet of the Polaris Program! The Polaris Dawn mission will perform the first Spacewalk aboard the SpaceX Crew Dragon and it will attempt to break a record held previously by the Gemini program for highest Earth Orbit altitude. This is quite a long interview, and as such we have included markers where you can find what question was asked and it will immediately jump to Scott's response.
