It's odd that she didn't cover how SLS and Artemis don't have a space suit component as part of the program despite costing 12 Billion so far. The most recent GOA report calls for more transparency from NASA who aren't planning to measure production costs to determine affordability of the program.... Yikes.

Too dramatic!!! This is disinformation. sorry I watched it.

They need water in the helmet to drink, apple juice would be better but beggars can’t be choosers.

Even more terrifying to keep in mind the absence of gravity, where water likes balling and bubbling around objects, which can be your mouth in helmet. Space is a killer 😟

One astronaut almost drowned during an EVA a few years ago.

spacesuits also have circulating water for cooling

Luca was lucky to have a buddy out there to guide him back to the airlock. Luca was blinded, could hardly comunicate, and had to be guided hand over hand back to the airlock. It cold easily have ended badly.

Blue Origin to SpaceX* Boeing is incredibly successful with their projects. Ex 737MAX.

NASA could of collaborate with CNSA to design and build new space suit. Oh my bad. The Wolf Amendment law prevent such co-operation....too bad.

​@@TheJustinJare you trying to be funny?.. when people die in your planes you are most definitly not succesful. also the starliner fiasco, huge delays, massive cost overrun. also the fact that the boeing whistleblower died even though he left a letter saying its not a suicide

@@TheJustinJ And lets not forget how "well" they are at ensuring basic procedures are followed by all contractors, such as fastners that get removed from a door get put back on again. If they even had effective FOD management it would have been caught. FOD is the number one cause of all aviation accidents.

I’m not sure what your comment even means.

Amazing, ain't it?...

I’m going to have to make a note of that

Pronoun xe is against this religious claim!

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Most Western men and women ARE the same size: FAT! Hello from a slim, fit 60 year old New Zealand cyclist. 👤🚴‍♂️🇳🇿🌴🌊

Spine isn’t compressed like it is on Earth. You’re actually taller in the morning after lying in bed all night.

Small people should be sent to space for their healing?

@@blacknoir2404 And compressed from the front if you lay in bed having sex. That is why i prefer to lie on top.

@@wolfgangpreier9160 Only if you equate "small" and "bad".

@@blacknoir2404I hadn’t thought about that but it certainly makes sense. The twins height difference was remarkable when they stand together.

And watch!

Oh well if we amputate them the astronauts will be lighter and take less fuel to launch into space.

Orson Scott Card made a similar point in Ender's Game, with Ender treating them as literal meat shields

Naah, its a cruel mistress.

"It's harder when you're stupid".

Space is indeed hard, especially for something defined as insubstantial.

you actually have it exactly backwards

_SpaceX and other space players should support NASA rather than trying to down NASA for advancement in space works._

I would not trust anything Musk is involved in

OR “the Biden Administration and its subordinate tentacles should support SpaceX and stop trying to down SpaceX for partisan political purposes.” The Bidenistas worked hard to pump up Boeing’s giant failure stick and now we’re all hoping those astronauts can get back.

They already support SpaceX with contracts of billions of dollars and lots of free technical support.

😂😂..👍

The suits are effectively wearable space ships tailored to different application needs. I don't know how close robot limbs and manipulators are as technology or if they could be adapted to fully meet the needs. We do remote surgery nowadays. We must be getting closer to it every decade. One day, a hard shell turtle personal zero-G ship, with manipulators and VR for the closeup work...

@@JamesPerkins I wonder if tactile feedback would be better or worse with such a system; the current gloves rather hamper the user's sense of touch. I'm pretty sure vision would be impaired though as I don't think modern displays are anywhere near the human eye's resolution (for VR applications, i.e. small and close displays).

Not really, at least not for what is required

No good, SpaceX is still back in 1964 with their spacesuit. Ed White in 1965 did the first US spacewalk from his Gemini craft. He used an umbilical, just like SpaceX's current design.They are no good for the advanced spacewalks NASA does. They have to become self powered, air scrubbing, oxygen supplying, pumping, water providing, communication and temperature regulating spacecraft. That will take years.

Just like Ed White on the Gemini spacewalk in 1965, 60 years ago. Umbilical spacesuits are useless and not a sign of an advanced solution, quite the opposite. SpaceX is nowhere near having any proper EVA suits.

Sorry SpaceX spacesuits are really primitive and no use to NASA's requirements. NASA is 26 years behind in its 1998 current design but SpaceX is 60 years behind. Ed White in the Gemini craft in 1965 did what SpaceX want to do next year.

Thank you!!!

Way way way way way less funds

Also those suits were custom made to the astronauts and used for a much smaller timeframe so they didn't deteriorate as much over the years due to extensive use like and increasingly infrequent maintenance like the ISS suits have.

If a f****** bra manufacturer can make a spaceship, surely the engineers of the day can do it better.It would seem that way but I guess it's not

Sounds like Chafing - it's a big issue in sports.

@@user-wz1qo1cn3i The potential 'pinching' of the suit is much worse than 'chafing' as it can actually draw blood. If this is a problem, it can prevent the wearing of the suit at all. NASA has had repeated difficulties with the suits. Personally, I think part of the problem is the design itself. Perhaps they need a different and NON-military industrial complex answer. I believe that ILC Dover has been the primary supplier of spacesuits for NASA since the very beginning of Apollo when a 'moon-suit' was needed. But it is obvious they need a new design and perhaps a new developer.

B52's have been kept operating, with modifications. There are even Amelia Earhart planes still operating. ISS could do the same. I think the goal of space should be aerospace advancement, not keeping old things going.

Woke PC DEI culture that emphasized Muslim outreach and hiring unqualified people based on how many boxes they checked on the intersectionality chart.

Do I really have to explain this. NASA cannot build a Saturn V or their old suits for the same reason a car manufacturer cannot remake a 50 year old car design. The people who built them, engineered them and managed them are all dead or retired. The production lines and machines no longer exist. A lot of these designs are pre-handheld calculator age, nevermind the Internet or Hard Drives, even pre-transistor age. I remember getting a handheld Transistor Radio in 1974 when David Bowie was singing about Major Tom. It was a novelty, like magic. The engineering drawings of the designs will still be in paper form and some are probably missing. Nobody is skilled in the old manufacturing techniques anymore. They would have to reverse engineer the museum pieces, time consuming, and then find modern suppliers and create new manufacturing processes to suit CMC machining and such like. Different materials would be used, better ones. You are much better off just redesigning a brand new piece of hardware, with modern material science. Improving all aspects of the design. It will be nothing like the original though. So in practice, it is not possible or worthwhile to rebuild the Apollo moon missions craft. They would also all have to be recertified for human use again. Just build a totally new rocket! It's not some big conspiracy, just entirely practical.

@@peterwilson7532 Nope, you really didn't have to explain that. My actual point is how did they let it get this bad before getting something made. Why didn't they start working on this 30 years ago.

Yep and iirc the current ones are more so meant for if the cabin depressurizes rather than dedicated spacewalks. I might be wrong on this so take it with a grain of salt.

@@sarjurastormblade953 There are the Polaris Dawn suits that haven't flown yet, but they are tethered suits (similar to the Gemini suits)

I thought all Astronauts are selected to their exactly same body measurements, including the length of their Johnsons?

@@wolfgangpreier9160 Some astronauts don't ever have Johnsons.

@@ghost307 Sure they do. They must use Urinellas. Amazon 12,10

First space suit from the US was used in space in 1961, the first EVA suit from the US was 1965. The Soviet firsts were the same years, but slightly ahead in both cases.
