  1. Yeah no.

  2.  @thatotherguy7596 it’s the only option you have, higher pressures mean it’s harder to move around in your suit. It’s perfectly safe, we have hundreds of spacewalks to back that claim

  3. Tracing the path isn’t the big issue. It’s all the complicated specialised tech with little margin for error.

  4. Reminds you of every single space suit in existence?
    4
  5. Every EVA suit uses a low-pressure high-oxygen environment. High pressure makes it hard to move around

  6. Considering they’re less than a decade away from putting people on the moon (something no one other than the US has even come close to) it’s worth keeping an eye on them.

  7. Also shows off the xEMU suits (which the moon suits will be based off of) and a small model of Starship HLS. Great video 👍

  8.  @executivesteps why?

  9. Yes it includes delivery and control of operations. It also includes both manned and unmanned use for a few months. And this is not the only money. The entire LTV program will pay out around $4.5 billion in total over 15 years of operations. The reason it costs so much is its lack of commercialisation. Unlike something like Starship where it obviously has a commercial value. So NASA has to fit the bill for more of the development.

  10.  @zotfotpiq damn that’s some conspiracy you’ve concocted in your brain.

  11.  @executivesteps yeah, except it’s done by a private company at a tiny fraction of the cost both of which are impressive.

  12. It’s a success if it hits all the mission milestones as it did. This mission was not about sending it to space
    2
  13. Not marketing numbers. The engines are capable of those numbers. They just purposely under throttle them. Maybe for efficiency reasons, maybe for reliability. Probably for reliability

  14. They were forced to make SLS by Congress. And it did have a purpose when it was being made, at the time there was no commercial super heavy lift rocket even being designed.
    2
  15. Um… I’m pretty sure Arianespace is also a private company.

  16. Half the hinge melted off, crazy the whole flap didn’t go with it
    2
  17. If Starship can get the performance for a LEO to Mars and back to LEO, then that’d be my choice. Paired with the FLEX rover seeing as it’ll: 1. Already be ready and 2. Be highly capable for that mission
    2
  18. Lockheed Martin will supposedly be testing a NTP engine in 2027
    2
  19. Humans can do the work it takes a rover months to do in a day. They are more flexible, can do tasks that rovers can’t. Also a part of the experiment is to learn how to live for extended periods of time on another body. How to build large infrastructure. How to master in situ resource utilisation. All of that will be essential for a colony on mars.

  20. I think the shoulders just looked wrong, the new EVA suit looks better but we’ll have to see how it really looks when it’s blown up
    2
  21. No SpaceX still has their contract, Congress increased NASA’s funding to allow Blue Origin to have a go.
    2
  22. Cost
    1
  23. Why? It’s just the same capsule design we’ve been using for decades.

  24. It’s a race to put a base on the moon

  25. These won’t cause Kessler syndrome they’re LEO satellites, they’d fall out of the sky after a couple years without power. Higher up satellites are a bigger issue, but even then it’s very very unlikely. And it will never threaten missions outside of our planet

  26. It’s old, it’s got a leak, it needs a lot of refurbishments. It’s beyond time to retire it.

  27. SpaceX actually was one of the companies competing for a Commercial Destinations contract.
    1
  28. Well I think that’s sorta going to be the case. Axiom’s been contracted to design an Orbital suit based off its Lunar suit. It’ll be used on their Space Station when that gets put up.

  29. Not quite as badly

  30. Yes the Airbus Loop is a part of Starlab. Angry Astronaut did an interview a few months ago with an Airbus executive that explained it.

  31. You’d run into size constraints of the New Glenn rocket.
    1
  32. What?
    1
  33. lol what?
    1
  34. NASA uses metric, get used to it
    1
  35. And SpaceX isn’t even the only heavy lift launch provider in the US.
    1
  36. Seeing as they’re planning on using it to land on the moon and Mars with no to little atmosphere, I’m sure it could land on earth
    1
  37. The ISS was a massive money sink. Time for private industry to make space more affordable
    1
  38. Sure we could do that, we’d need way more NASA funding though
    1
  39. Like >10% inflation? Because he killed that as well
    1
  40. Because it went viral on space twitter

  41. Boeing’s been working with NASA for over 60 years. They built parts of Saturn V
    1
  42.  @codymoe4986  they can already do that, but yeah they have a long way to go to pulling off this mission. But they have what, atleast 4 years with most elements in place?
    1
  43.  @EMichaelBall  that’s a possibility, would probably add complexity though
    1
  44. No they proposed a modified Starship
    1
  45. No. The modules are past their use by date
    1
  46. Or even if you just stuck with Nvidia. You obviously didn’t understand them very well, the consumer side of the business is way smaller than the enterprise
    1
  47. What?
    1
  48. You can’t see StarLink satellites in their final orbit
    1
  49.  @homeopathicfossil-fuels4789  they’re not visible to the naked eye after they’ve reached their final orbit.

  50. Dragon has the contract to go out to 2030, the only reason they wouldn’t is if it was unprofitable for them. They also have the private moonwalks, trips to the ISS and trips to private space stations already planned
