  1. When will the moon be colonized, humanity is starting to eat one another…and I want off this rock! ๐Ÿคฃ

    1. @H G ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ you falling for this nonsense. They in a pool. Donโ€™t be deceivedโ€ผ๏ธ

  2. NASA is perfectly capable of designing better space suits. They havenโ€™t prioritized it which is just bad management. I mean they are putting their astronauts at risk by not investing in space suits.

    1. @Ross Kneebone my father retired from NASA it absolutely is one. Do you know how much red tape you have to go through to do anything? Clueless

    2. Whoever leads in IT and artificial intelligence will dominate the world.
      The International Space Station was built by Russia,
      US and other countries about 30 years ago,
      in Kazakhstan, eastern border with China and Russia

      the Russian Orbital Segment is operated by Russia,
      the US Orbital Segment is run by the US and other nations.

      European Space Agency was open to China’s inclusion,
      but the US was against it.
      US concerns over the transfer of technology that could be used for military purposes

      US didnโ€™t kick out the Russia because
      NASA became dependent on Russian crew capsules
      when US shuttles were grounded after its failure.

      Putin might withdraw from ISS programme in 2025 because
      itโ€™s reaching the end of its functional life.

      Chinese Space Stationโ€™s got
      a three-person crew of 3-month mission
      is one-fifth the mass of the ISS but itโ€™s more spacious
      and itโ€™s fitted with wifi-connection and other innovations
      video calling from the space station to earth
      shorter travel time from two days
      increase the number of automated and remote-controlled systems

      China and Russia plan for a joint International Lunar Research Station running through 2036.

      But weโ€™re expected to believe that the US intends to defend the “rules-based order”
      that Russia and China are posing a challenge to.

  3. Uhm excuse me. Why tf are we still using old asf space suit from the 1960โ€™s. All that money NASA and the government has and they canโ€™t afford to get or afford to have already started creating new space suits? Thatโ€™s completely unacceptable. Do better please.

  4. NASA needs to listen to the engineers, we don’t need a Challenger or Columbia situation. It happened to the Italians 9 years ago , did we review our suits systems then? Think about drowning in your helmet during an EVA , unacceptable! Show some respect for the Astronauts who died on the job.๐Ÿ––๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฒ

  5. Iโ€™m glad they got the space suite off in time! I cannot imagine drowning in a suit. Watching this made me feel claustrophobic.

  6. Hard to believe that a suite that has been around for 50 years is really better than almost anything we have now. Even the prototypes have 50 years of development over these suites. But nobody wants to take responsibility for a new one.

  7. You would think there would be a straw like mouth piece one could bite down on to breath incase water did fill up the helmet for at least long enough to remove.

    1. That seems like too good of an idea, you would think though, drowning in a space helmet wouldn’t be nice.

  8. Indeed. It is critical that at this time they have not had enough helmets for everyone. And there are 42 astronauts available for missions or controls. Hope he gets it back soon, so activities get normal again. He needs it on his way back as logic.

  9. Wow, I had no idea that NASA was just like me! Wearing old suits till they start falling apart ๐Ÿ˜ฒ

  10. Went to space my A…! Lol..it’s been 19,376 days exactly since the last time they lied and said we went to the moon, but since NASA lost that technology to do it again, most people just accept that answer and don’t ask noooooo questions.. Never went, never going, Musk and Bezos bouncing off the firmament is hilarious ๐Ÿ˜‚ ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

  11. Well that water thing filling up in the helmet kind of reminds me of that trap from that movie Saw part 5๐Ÿค”

  12. I haven’t done my homework on this so, can someone please tell me how did water leak into the astronauts suit/ helmet in space?
