    I love this. He's not trying to make the ultimate space suit, he's trying to put the technology into ordinary hands for all to use and expand upon. We need more stuff like this!

    At first I thought "what a waste of time" but after watching the video I love it. Putting it online like an 'open source space suit' is such a great idea. I really hope a community forms around it which work together to develop these suits.

    It is not called a space suit it is a pressure suit. A space suit is made for EVA operation, a pressure suit to help the crew survive in case of a cabin leak. No astronaute would use a pressure suit in space. It like confusing a scuba diver with a submarine

    • @mudman6156
      @mudman6156 2 роки тому

      As a scuba diver and space enthusiast, somehow I’m missing your comparison in the comment “It like confusing a scuba diver with a submarine.” There’s no comparison between a scuba diver and a submarine. Scuba divers (especially solo) wear a lot of equipment to make a scuba dive. I typically wear a drysuit, custom duel tank rig with emergency pony bottle, full face mask, and backups for everything. When I’m on a submarine such equipment isn’t necessary. But when scuba diving, it doesn’t matter if the water is 10 feet or 1000 feet deep…the same equipment is still required. How does that possibly compare to the differences between a pressure suit and a space suit?

    • @simonrano8072
      @simonrano8072 2 роки тому

      @@mudman6156 because EVA suite is a pressurised environment with its own power supply and life support hardware to perform extended operations in any space condition. Its is closer to a mini spacecraft. It like comparing scuba diving with rigid deep articulated diving suits if you like. They can operate the same at any rated depth like a mini submarine.
      A pressure suit only helps you breath and dont die because of lost of cabine pressure. They inflate in case of depressurization and are then hard to use.

    • @romanglinnik8073
      @romanglinnik8073 2 місяці тому

      "No astronaut would use a pressure suit", that's just wrong. A space suit is not exclusively made for EVA since NASA also made an intravehicular pressure suits for example. Every pressure suit has its own closed environment ("atmosphere") and is part of/incorporates its own life support system. How do you think does a space suit maintain constant internal pressure if not using a pressure bladder?

    • @simonrano8072
      @simonrano8072 2 місяці тому

      @@romanglinnik8073 you seem to have trouble with logic. In space there is vacuum, but vacuum is not space. A space suit is pressurized, all pressure suits are not rated for space. There is a huge gap in technology between something that is made to survive and something made to operate.
