Yes. Have you heard of any problems with the SpaceX suits?

no, they were made by ILC Dover. They are getting pretty old and are very hard to completely maintain in a weightless environment. The cooling system has been especially finicky in recent years.

@@Awesomepotamus who designed them? Do you know when they were used besides the current flight?

@@garyz4465 They were designed by ILC Dover, Hamilton Standard, and Collins Aerospace under contract of NASA. The last time they were used successfully was November 1, 2023.

​@@garyz4465 You mean the SpaceX EVA suits which have never actually been flown? Incredible that they've managed to remain problem free on the 0 missions they've been utilized for.

The public is getting dumber by the day. Nearing retardation.

This's predictable when your smart people are in WallStreet, and the poor cannot afford the college

@@ChengliangPan It's just false.

Exactly. "We'll be colonizing Mars any YEAR now." What a laff riot

LOL....right there with the flat earth conspiracy theorists.....

10-4, I am still laughing; however, will cry soon.

NASA Chief: The Chinese Exclusion Act of 2024 is our top priority because Communism. The tremendous magnifying power of our telescopes has enabled me to find Communism.

NASA still dresses like professionals. You must have been looking at some other space company.

They shouldn't make anyone nervous - been watching the programs since the late 60's and there have always been glitches and gremlins. Even Spacex has plenty, but Elon keeps it much more quiet under threat of termination or death to the staff!

I asked them to send me the battery pack the last time they unloaded one into the earths atmosphere and then not too long later the house in Florida got hit by one of the previous packs. : ). if it’s still 80% and it weighs 5600 pounds can you imagine how long you could keep your house running? LOL

I did artwork about Starliner before it launched, and then it started having problems. I showed the capsule popping off and running into the camera that was filming it. : )

I was stationed right across the runway from Boeing when I was at McConnell Air Force Base. I also went to kindergarten in first grade there. : )

I debited the SpaceStation in an animation a few days ago. : )

I mean the best case scenario I’m only six years off from Winn. It’s actually going to be deorbited as a part of its mission anyway. It’s not only showing its age. It’s showing some lack of foresight and funding. If you want to hang out in dangerous places, it’s gonna cost a bit of money.

I think there is some type of political or money influence going on between NASA and Boeing. Maybe jobs. Why else would they even consider bring home the crew in a defective STARLINER? They should cancel the Boeing contract. Boeing got 4.3 million for the development of it and SpaceX got 2.6 million. Boeing has had way too long to correct issues that keep coming up. What risks don’t we know about ??

Sudden satellite link up reconfig... then volla, recapture of images from the ISS, but no space walking astronauts in sight! We're they even there or did they die and the surviving ISS crew members eject their dead body corpses back into space through the air lock hatch? I can't trust anything from NASA (I briefly worked their as a contractor). You wouldn't believe the shenanigans that go on there behind the scenes. It's brutal and it's comical, as if the employees were in a NASA cult; doing nearly everything cockeyed-crazy, but believing in everything NASA does, right or wrong! I was fired for making light of a planetary mission that missed its mark, because some fool inputted measurement data in feet/inches, when it was supposed to be metric. It was so typical of NASA that I had to laugh at it, and hence be able to learn from it. NASA doctrine says never question NASA and never be honest with yourself enough to learn from stupid mistakes. Because NASA doctrine #1 NASA does not make mistakes. And that's plain old horse-pucky. The regular employees steal NASA blind, thieving very very valuable things to have at home, in the basement workshop or in the garage. When I left (suddenly) someone packed up my desk items in a box and handed them to me, so I wouldn't steal anything. Some items packed were things belonging to NASA not me ("US Government'"embossed on many items). I just removed that stuff and left it all behind there, on my desk. Because I'm simply not a damn thief. As I worked at my job there I needed to interact with almost everyone; I was extremely polite, and genuinely charming (it's how I was raised.. especially around women) and also I was a fairly good looking young dude. These facts together served me little with any standing regard among very many NASA employed men. It raised some jealousy, which I simply ignored. But that jealous mindset initiated a fair amount of passive-aggressive behavior; things like sabotaging my work, information and results a little, or hiding important information from me. I just blew such silliness off as overgrown childhood behavior. But a few times I was physically threatened with near violence, which seemed completely fathomless to me. I never meant any harm to anyone. Why the vitriol? I was glad to leave after only 6 months. Good riddance, and I was left with the complete explanation for NASA's multiple fu'k ups!

Nope. They knew the vehicle wasn’t ready. They didn’t give a shit they just wanted to do it.

Why call Spacex? They have plenty of problems as well - you just don't hear about them. I've had a handful of friends working at the Hawthorne HQ some for 20+ years now, and the stories I've heard would curl your hair lol.

Dragon seems to be much more reliable. MIc firms have delivered late, over budget and over priced high tech garbage which is getting shown up by $500 drones. They focus more in lobbying and buying off congress to continue useless wars. Iraq, Libya, Syria, Afgan, Yemen, Ukraine and of couse the most important State, Israel
