      @babecat2000 Yes, could be filmed in a studio like any movie. Why haven’t any astronauts been to the moon in decades?? Just shows you it was never done.

    So this company makes space suits… that NASA didn’t buy, and has no plans to buy. This is like the group MARS ONE that trains to go to MARS, but aren’t astronauts, or pilots, or assigned to any vehicles. These suits aren’t that far off legitimate NASA or ROSCOSMOS suits, but they aren’t the same either.

      Definitely feeling a hype advertorial like those Netflix and HBO biography/documentary pieces which are just funded by the people who want it (see: Michael Jordan)

  8. Gordatados

    September 14, 2022 at 5:16 pm

    It only took them 60 yrs to slightly improve the suits.

    astronauts are highly overrated, mediocre at best.

    Think about how big percentage of the people that have worn one of these have died shortly after. I mean, compared to a pair of Levis.

  14. Eugenio Renaldo

    September 14, 2022 at 6:56 pm

    The engineer on the left when putting the suit on, who takes himself way too seriously, is not having it. Please someone tells him to relax. It won’t kill his precious status.

    Why would you drop your modern “jokes~humour” on senile professionals who’ve converted all their imagination aka “fluid intelligence” into mere intellect aka “crystallized intelligence”?

    *They are the living dead,* also ruled by insecurity about liability and are impatient with things they can’t understand.
    Why test these *mere intellectuals* with your attempt to make yourself feel comfortable via use of “humour”?
    It’s as if your habit of trying too hard is also devouring your intelligence as insecurity has devoured the humanity of every other intellectual.

    9:36 “Uh-law-dove-e-ut e-uz pro-sea-dure-ull”-!?… The idiot means *a lot of it is procedure,* it’s to stupid to realize procedure alresdy suffices to convey his exact intent withiut redundant conjunction into “procedural.” Nouth-breathers are stupid like that; inflated lexicon and wrong sense of syntax as they ramble on broken impulse rather than mindfully phrasing their exact intent.

    So… This is the final product? I don’t see much changed….

    Sure it’s better.

    Looks very attractive.
    Might even have a chance to make a space baby who knows.

    Why can’t space x let us see the blueprints and make a variation knock off like certain countries do to us. Or are we just to stubborn. Cause if we are I’m ok with that.

    Please someone donate an AI or 3 designer class to NASA with a formidable 3D printers, that’s plural.

    Интересно, как теперь американцы будут летать без русских двигателей. Космическая станция также не может адекватно работать без русских. Только и остаётся – примерять скафандры на земле)))))

    Cool Video and impressive space suit, although i prefer the russian orlan design (big door in the back). Oh and Polaris Dawn (civilian EVA) is slated for 12/22…so not that far of.

    ILC Dover made them all – really, including the Apollo mission suits? I thought they only designed them and had Playtex manufacture them.

    Gli americani non sono mai stati sulla luna,le caratteristiche fisiche della luna sono tali da impedire l’utilizzo delle (primitive ) tecnologie umane per decollare da lì,muoversi autonomamente ,frenare curvare etc nel vuoto assoluto.Ssulla terra i motori a razzo usano l’atmosfera come appoggio per entrare in orbita bassa,il combinato tra campo gravitazionale e velocità angolare terrestre permettono nel vuoto di salire di quota o entrare nello spazio.Sulla luna manca totalmente atmosfera e la velocità angolare è solo un ventottesimo di quella terrestre ,in pratica vi è un dominio del campo gravitazionale lunare ,che è il motivo per il quale sulla superficie lunare vi sono milioni di crateri da impatto …per questi motivi avvicinarsi alla luna è come finire dentro le sabbie mobili

    I don’t know what I was expecting when they got to the part about how they make them but a few ancient Singer sewing machines in a drab office is not what I pictured 😆

    whelp, count me out being an astronaut.. can’t bear the thought of not being able to scratch that itch

  37. neuron1618

    September 15, 2022 at 8:06 pm

    Weren’t those orange suits orange so they would be highly visible in case an unfortunate astronaut somehow ends up floating in the ocean? A blue&black color scheme seems like a slight design flaw in that regard.
