im not sure i agree with this definition of spacewalk. is this like how the definition of space was changed too? overhype and marketing.

What's your definition?

[globalnode → patrick0d]

Outside the vehicle for a spacewalk, and above the Karman line for space.

Please explain what you mean by this.

I suspect OP wanted a human floating ("walking") in space.

It appears that Isaacman popped his head out of a hole while holding onto a ladder.

I personally think this mission is amazing for many reasons. But the astronauts aren't free floating in space, they're just poking their heads out the hatch.

It looks a lot like the Gemini spacewalks which is the main analogy to this. Just not floating on a tether I guess.
