    We've all seen NASA's white space suit that astronauts have been wearing since the Apollo missions. But what does an astronaut wear underneath that iconic suit's shell? We visit NASA to learn about all the essentials of extravehicular space wear, all the way down to the emergency diapers.

      Actually, there are restrictions when it comes to filming someone putting on a spacesuit. You can't actually film them putting it on because of international laws, so most likely it was not worth the effort.

      Much worse than just babies. Frauds and parasites is more accurate. The ISS is located (they say) in the thermosphere, which means these suits are subject to blast furnace temperatures. Unfortunately for NASA, there is no known material that thin anywhere near capable of that kind of insulation and protection.

    Keep in mind that the astronaut is also travelling around that speed. So it really would only be travelling at the difference in velocity between the astronaut and the object. Still, getting hit would be extremely dangerous and probably fatal.

I did not notice the Sun going less bright....so they must have had the blast shield visor down all the time? But I did not see them use it at all! Strange that. The storage of all their stuff...must have been a nightmare......can you imagine the amount of extra stuff that was blown away when they crashed the space vehicle into the Moons surface......How many millions of $s ....Oh I suppose about a hundred or so millions of $s.....money well spent there then!

      it is only used when in the spacecraft to get basic protection

    it take 6 hours just to put on a spacesuit and there are step that have to be done before they go outside. Step 1. all astronauts must remove their clothing and put on a diaper women have to also put on absorbent pads inside their bras and use tampons. once this is done next they put on their garments and install bio med sensors where their heart is located and where their lungs and pulse are located. once this task is complete then the cooling garment is put on and connected to their drink bag. astronauts have two of these one to drink and one to cool them off. once this step is complete prior to the spacewalk they have to spend the night in the airlock at a low pressure to get all nitrogen out of their system so they don't get Bends. On the day of the spacewalk the astronauts then put on the legs and use special suspenders to hold them up until the hard torso is connected once the had torso is connected and zipped up then the arms are installed and the gloves are put on and checked for punctures. once the gloves are on the next step it to put on the snoopy cap and the absorbent pads in the helmet before the helmet itself is put on and locked. Leak checks must be done prior to the spacewalk and all filters need to be checked if a filter fails the suit will leak and water will get into your helmet ask Luca he almost drowned outside. Once the leak checks are finished the suit is turned on and hooked to the umbilical then the SAFER Pack is put on and they are stuffed in the airlock and it is vented into space. once the airlock is at vacuum the suits are switched to battery power starting the spacewalk clock then the hatch is opened and we don't see them for 7 hours. once the spacewalk is complete the airlock is pressurized and everything is taken off and they put their regular cloths on before they go to dinner.

    watched this because I wanted to know if an astronaut can get into a spacesuit with out help like they do in many movies. I guess one could get into it solo but would take a lot more time with less certainty they've put it on correctly and without leaks. They mention an assistant will help join the two halves of the suit once the astronaut/specialist is in both pieces. But spacesuits will continue to evolve.

      Geoffrey Harford I've since done a little research and the pressure needed to inflate these suits is only a very little apparently! From all the movies it seems people would explode but apparently it's more like a slow seep of bodily fluids! They were even working on some sort of fabric that just creates a pressure on your body without the need for a pressurised suit but upon further investigation I don't think it was from a credible source but interesting to look into.

      Also, if you are in the buoyancy lab practicing, gravity is still there, so it will puddle.
      But in space, sweat from your legs would be in your lower legs, because it is hard for the water to float anywhere else in the suit.

    There can be smoke but obviously it wouldn't be floating upward, it would float in a spheroid kind of distribution - and since fire is extremely rare in vacuum it would be escaping from somewhere and tend to go in a cone shape away from the source.

    Ask yourself why they don't demonstrate what happens to a real human in a suit when inside a vacuum chamber. That MUST be one major phase for the testing. So why do they not even mention such a chamber, such an acid test? Not just here but ANYWHERE. You can't find such a video, despite the fact that the need for such a test is beyond obvious.

      @stephandrake 6 років тому +2

      Why no MENTION of a test? Nobody so much as says, "They're tested too". Why not? Because these ridiculous "space suits" are a joke. The pressurization issues in any absolute vacuum would be ASTRONOMICAL. And the temperatures would be higher than a blast furnace. But hey, no need to see what happens to a real human in a suit when inside a vacuum, let alone a super-heated vacuum chamber? Absolute hogwash.
      For a look at the incredible power of a vacuum, search youtube for a video of the pipe-lifting tool able to grip and hold 30,000 pounds. The ability of a suit to withstand such an IMMENSELY powerful vacuum MUST be one major phase for the testing. A vacuum would pull with the force of an explosion on every square inch of that suit. Not to mention the non-existent insulation and cooling system supposedly capable of keeping the inside of a suit at room temperature despite surrounding ISS thermosphere temperatures of a BLAST FURNACE

    • @stephandrake
      @stephandrake 6 років тому

      Bob Margossian: Think. Surrounded by an absolute vacuum, the force pulling at every square inch of a space suit would have more pulling power than the force of a street pipe lifting tool. And those tools are capable of lifting 30,000 pounds, ie. 15 US Tons. Search youtube for such pipe lifting rigs.

    • @stephandrake
      @stephandrake 6 років тому +1

      Then search for the videos of a little vacuum jar with a balloon inside. What happens to that balloon is just a miniature, low-power example of what would happen to a space suit the instant it was immersed in the massive power of an absolute vacuum. Again: THINK.

    Actually, they're not really secret. The guy and Norm are bantering and I don't think he meant to imply that. You can, for instance, buy solarweave & aquaweave. And nylon, tricot & dacron. The hard materials used in suits are stainless steels, ceramics and composites that, while custom-made, are generally things like graphite, thermoplastics, carbon fiber, etc. Chinaalready makes a good suit. They have Russian friends, after all, and base theirs on Russian Orlan-M and Sokol suits.

    In case you don't want to watch that video he posted I'll go ahead an explain it for you.
    Look at a basketball or something and imagine it's Earth. If you launched a rocket into its orbit and made it go around the left side of the basketball (as you're looking at it) it will continue to go that way (if the orbit is maintained). But if you launch a rocket to go around the right side of the basketball, it would be going in the opposite direction as the other rocket.
