There's a single person spacecraft being designed to go with the Orbital Reef. That's probably going to have more utility and be safer than something that straps on to a space suit. Will it get built for Orbital Reef? Hopefully. Will somebody eventually do something like this even if this doesn't pan out? I think it's inevitable.

Coulda used it for I'll fated Columbia's last flight to check beneath the orbiteŕ.

Yes. I think technology today can greatly improve the jet pack. For example, we have many air tools now where the nozzle can get as much work efficently at lower air pressure. Another example is the communication, headsets and etc have also improved.

Yh absolutely terrifying

That astronaut said he focused on the space shuttle the whole time he was floating with the jet pack. Can't imagine what its like to just see deep space and darkness all around while floating. Knowing a malfunction of your jetpack could be end of your life.

But the shuttle could be maneuvered to pick him up

Actually, the 'single most iconic picture taken from space', which includes the Apollo moon landings, is of course the photo of Buzz Aldrin that was taken by Neil Armstrong during the Apollo 11 mission in 1969. A video concerning this can be found at the following link - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l7KVkpVi0LKlk3U.html

exactly 💯

So I've seen a documentary about this, and they really dramatized it. I know this sounds gross, i was thinking, could have swallowed the water, and continue the mission.

Here they are completely loose as well though, a couple malfunctions or slips of the thrust and the astronaut could be sent into an un controllable tumble.

I remeber what one

@@johnrymszewicz Another thing you can do is open a valve on the suit into the vaccum of space, which can suck out the fluid

@@calibranese did you mean "it"? Over time I've occasionally received a few "your words make no sense" after thinking I wrote something straightforward. Then look back to see whether thru impatience or punctuation, etc., my elementary writing skills would be more helpful! But this time I just can't seem to find what jumped out to you. One guess is that I'm trying to point out the unnecessary bureaucracy caused by a gov't program. It's true I am one of those guys, but wasn't really going for that here. It's obviously not the biggest deal, but since I have the time at the moment, I'm just curious if you recall what you meant. Take it easy.

@@SuperPhunThyme9 not sure if you're trying to have fun, waiting to hear back something like "And what exactly is that supposed to mean/Growl"?! But you'll get no argument here. I even think there's an adult argument to have when it comes to our biggest committee & the influences within it. Namely all three branches of gov't! Ironically the taboo/effectively forbidden nature of that debate comes from...3 guesses??? Even though my argument is All biological, and Zero ideological, good luck trying to get anyone to hear that once the topic is merely mentioned. Forbidding the discussion of potentially important issues, hmm, also feels familiar. ;) All I know is you don't need to be a warhawk to understand the importance of power projection/perception. As I write this it takes no mental effort understanding that China views Thailand, Putin the Ukraine, and the Taliban Afghanistan, very differently now & almost overnight. Is it "because" of women? No. But it IS due to believing the world will suddenly behave the way you want it to. Will/can men screw things up? Every time. But why offer extra wins to your adversaries in between those moments. Thank you, that was actually a fun diversion to start the day. I hope whoever you are my thoughts were taken as offered, just as interesting stuff to discuss. Instead of as another one of those new fantasy worldviews, which is that my words are themselves actions, and/or "dangerous"! Take it easy, have a good one.

Talk about a stressful work environment! 😱

History of the Universe

Kerbal space program will give you an idea of it lol. I guess barring some malfunction that's throws you wildly off course or space debris, it's not as dangerous as it seems.

Just learn imperial.

It’s not powerful enough to do anything on earth, it can only do small movements in space. You cannot use the mmu as a portable rocket on earth Earth gravity is 9.8 m/s² and mmu can only accelerate at 0.1 m/s²

@@confusedtoad8757 I meant that the MMU could have been used to directly inspect the damage and as a platform to place objects into the hole in order for the orbiter to survive reentry. They didn't even get a close-up shot in the end. Best they had was a long distance shot from a spy satellite. If I was on that flight you better believe I would have wanted to see that hole up close and do something about it.

@@smithtorreysmith it was an organizational failure. NASA risked their lives and in the end lost the bet. They could have explored other options and they underestimated the damage.

NASA is government… incompetent, lazy, irresponsible, uncaring… Government NEVER cares about results… only increasing it’s budget.

Untethered it is, really easy for something to happen and the astronaut could be launched away from the craft

They were getting much better with the arm based EVAs, and the MMU is both considerably more risky and in many ways less capable. On the arm an astronaut can apply pressure with both their arms without burning through propellant. The MMU had a total delta v of only around 25m/s. That's fine if you are just pottering around at a fraction of a m/s relative to your base, but you are going to have to anchor somewhere to do any real work. The torque from tightening a nut takes a surprising amount of propellant to counter. To do many jobs from the MMU the astronaut must also anchor themselves somehow, while on an arm they would not. It's easy to focus on the "risk" part of it, but the decision was probably more to do with the "unnecessary" part. It just isn't a good solution to the problems it was meant for, cool though it is. That's before you even consider that they were also hoping to move into stations. The shuttle made it far less risky, having a good RCS system of it's own. Worst case scenario and the MMU failed completely the plan was to manoeuvre the whole shuttle to get them into the cargo bay, close the doors, and then recover them with no risk of them bouncing off. You can't do that with a station.

@@agsystems8220 Valid points. Though, do astronauts always use the arm to service the station? My understanding is that they often transit manually. The MMU would be good for that. Do station EVAs involving torque always have the arm in use?

The Wright brothers flew without the catapult before Dumont even got his first plane flying. It’s common knowledge

@@fileoffish1403 you have proof?

Was it recorded like Santos Dumont first flight on the 14 bis?

Perhaps you're getting confused with Arthur C Clarke?

Not a match to NASA.

They aren’t developing one?

That's not necessary on American social media.

Sure guarantee's NASA to get shut down also but hey, let these bums stay scared. Jetpack is the best idea and the reason it's not used is b.c these astronaut's don't go out in space like they legit had to back in the day

What the hell does this have to do with jet packs in the space program?
