So what do we think of SpaceX's flight suit?

Where's the oxygen?

It can protect you from a vacuum, not a crash.

See all this important shit. Yea, thats stuff's important.

He's a meme because the united states government has been going to space every year for the past 50 years, has so many satellites in orbit its ungodly and it's widely speculated that they not only have nukes in orbital, but also have stations on the far side of the moon.

Only 1/100th of nasa documents are ever declassified and released under the freedom of information act, and the rest consume a large sum to the tune of billions per annum in the black budget.

His space program is a meme, because it can't compete with the military industrial complex of the most powerful nation's military research program in known history - and the fact that its space research division (NASA), is planning a breakaway civilization from humanity on MARS, utilizing cutting edge classified technology to terraform MARS; that's why.

So throwing shitload of money at ULA for 40 years old vectors is "cutting edge classified techology" now. kek.

It's not a spacewalk suit. It will be used just from earth to the ISS. Or by tourists.

Why even have a suit if theres gonna be oxygen?

It's a suit for the media, for the normies, for TEDx. Absolutely not a suit for an hostile environment like space.

Pic related, it's better.

Of course not, it's a fucking flight suit, not an EVA suit. It's meant to be comfortable and look cool inside a spacecraft, and to keep crew alive in the case of depressurization. That's it.

>Meanwhile at Boeing

I like this one better, it has oxygen.

That was my point, it's only for the show. They can wear "normal" stuffs when they are inside the spacecraft.

Pic related

They both have oxygen. hey both have the same emergency life support standards.

Maybe on the ISS, but the suit is for safety on the way up and down. The Russians lost three people when a valve failed to close and the cabin depressurized. There have been other accidents with the Apollo-Soyuz when nitrogen tetroxide made it into the crew cabin, poisoning the crew. Given the extremely high safety requirements set for commercial crew, the suits are absolutely necessary.

If we had ham, we could make ham and eggs, if we had eggs.

To be fair, OP said it is a flight suit, not an EVA suit

The suit is worn during launch and reentry. Once the craft is in orbit you can wear whatever you want. Unless you are on the ISS and another ship docks. Then you usually wear a cheap face mask and maybe goggles so that and irritants in the new spacecraft don't irritate your eyes/nose/mouth until they circulate through the system

Friendly reminder that the Vimana / Haunebu / Foos / Saucers are the real deal and use Mercury Vortex Ring Accelerators to remove 81% of weight allowing the rest to be nuclear powered... ..

>we have actual, real, re-usable first stage

lmao and how does that help the common man

What the fuck does a New Hampshire restaurant chain have to do with this?

Back to /x/. I know you think mercury is a spooky material because it's liquid metal, and vortexes are super sciency and all, but no, it doesn't do fuck all.

who cares what WE think

>it's only for the show. They can wear "normal" stuffs when they are inside the spacecraft.
No, it's still a vacuum suit that will protect people if the spacecraft loses its air, and it can be used for emergency EVAs.

Don't be too surprised when their EVA suits are just their flight suits with a life support backpack and some outerwear. SpaceX prefers to build one versatile thing over several single-use things.

Ask the crew of Soyuz 11

That's very possible, but I believe they would be better off designing one from a clean sheet now that they have the experience. It would probably function better as it's own system.

Neither Gemini nor Apollo had separate flight and EVA suits.

The moonwalks were done in the flightsuits with a life-support backpack, sunshade visor, and protective oversuit. The Gemini EVAs were just done in the flight/EVA suits.

next rocket launch TODAYYY:

Looks like it's going to be a shitty launch.

oftentimes it clears up

I like Boeing's blue suits better because they don't look like they were designed by reddit.

I would trust this person to perform rocket surgery.

20 minutes to go! no issues

>daba dee daba dye daba de daba dye dye daba de daba dye

it's in the crosshairs! fire!

see

Holy crap the entry burn is really far out compared to most other launches.

go home /x/
if it existed, it would not be classified, because using that shit to the fullest would make them several orders of magnitude more money than hiding it and doing secret projects

Well this was fast.

475 kg payload. yep

wow it's fucking nothing: the launch

Sounds like a waste to use F9, It was supposed to be launched on F1 right?

It's routine at this point.

I'm no longer hoping for it to succeed but to fail.

>ywn be excited for a spacex landing again

Falcon Heavy 3 booster landing will be fun to watch.

come now, the 3x s1 landing for FH will be neat. And when they start streaming fairing recovery

I hope we get some nice footage of that.

yeah, it has been waiting for a launch opportunity since the Falcon 1 was cancelled.

Fairing recovery will get old fast. I'm looking forward to crewed launches.

the first couple droneship->land hops will be cool, when they start flying back 1st stages after fueling them on the droneships

These are unmanned, right? What if someone approached and boarded it for fun.

Are they still considering that? Tugging the rocket to shore seems more efficient than preparing another launch at sea, even if that means expanding the fleet eventually.

Stay tuned for tomorrow's Minotaur IV launch.

cheaper to spend 80k on fuel for a hop back than to have to rent cranes and pay dock workers to unload the damn things which takes forever and a day.

You would need to know where they are, it's not like they're near shore.

and the support ships are pretty close by

It is likely that the only time people aren't on it is when there is a rocket landing on it

>he's a meme because I subscribe to wild conspiracy theories that make NASA look orders of magnitude more powerful than it actually is, which in turn dwarfs Musk's real-life achievements

kek

not kubrik enough

>0.7m from target centre
Pretty accurate.

Mechanical pressure suits have to bespoke. Requiring padding in certain places to prevent gaps where therevis no pressure.

Air pressure suits can be off the rack.

Elon musk cuts you in half with a laser in his volcano lair.

Pretty sure that's illegal.

>Letting anti-piracy laws deter you
>Not wanting to be a modern-day space pirate

Can someone shoop Wojak in there?

That's just pure luck

*doubles your launch costs*

Don't worry your not paying for it, it's funded by taxes.

looks more practical than what you've got at X

(nice)
Only if it's painted red.

Have you seen also the landings in a row that have accomplished almost the same precision?

I don't like the HR Geiger tones

But these are the best tones.

Will I be able to pilot a giant robot with it?

...

I want to do the same but on Mars.

It doesn't look similar in any way you retard.

A generic motorcycle helmet looks more like a xenomorphs head then this thing for fucks sake and even that is barely similar.

>tl;dr xenomorphs represent industrialized rape and murder. the prequels make this explicit with the plot that the pinnacle of human industry created them from terraforming devices designed by aliens.

Ignoring the superficial dissimilarity of designs, the question is whether the SpaceX suit evokes a similar theme. In my opinion, the answer is no. Maybe you could elaborate?

How far off shore is it? If it's maritime law, you could chill right next to it at the very least. They'd get super nervous about your presence, you'd make news headlines for sure.

>luck

Sick of seeing the American flag on everything we do, but other than that it's cool.

Holy fuck, yes. Someone make this

LITERALLY kys

fuck off my dude, we own space get over it

True.

The advantage of the biosuit is that it is far more comfortable, more light weight and more compact.

>We
as in
>we still the Queen's people
?

Musk put one on at a press conference last week I think and he got attached. The suit got creampied, with him in it, from both ends until the guy was mechanically separated and escorted out of the bathroom and into a waiting Tesla.

Both life support ports were plugged while Musk panicked and had to breath in through the semen filling he had just received.

Luckily the jaws of life were on hand to extract Musk who was whisked to the hospital in a Tesla but not until it after it was realized that both Musk and his creampier were put the same Tesla.

By the time this was realized the attack had again mounted Musk and was attempting to creampie him a third time before he was again pried off Musk and this time whisked away in a different Tesla.

Need more futuristic space suits. Now.
