Billionaire Jared Isaacman made history in space — again.
On Thursday, Isaacman spent 10 minutes floating in the vacuum of space outside of a SpaceX capsule.
Both private space missions were funded for undisclosed sums by Isaacman, who boasts an estimated net worth of $1.9 billion, according to Forbes.
He's a longtime advocate for the expansion of the private space industry, which he says could lead to "a world where everybody can go and venture among the stars."
Here's how he went from teenage entrepreneur, running a business he founded in his parents' New Jersey basement, to a billionaire floating in space.
