NASA presents spacesuits for moon exploration – 10/15/2019

[spidernerd]

Lol when the orange guy walks off. That should be a meme.

[mttnnig]

28 minutes scrub the CO2... Jacques Cousteau had that technology..

[ronaldronald]

This is awesome! This is the USA i looked up to as a child. Dream big and achieve great things.

[KamleshMallick]

Wow. They did not answer the radiation question. Isn’t the lunar surface dangerous with radiation?

[khloerabnta]

That crowd didn’t sound exited I’m just confused why the ones on the craft are so different then ones used to walk on the planet?

[mactek]

Is it bullet proof? Those moon pirates can be nasty.

[mttnnig]

Regardless no excuses.. no matter what happens.. I want this guy to sign a contract that says.. bye December 2024.. he will get in one of those space suits and be launched to the Moon...

[corinnehill]

So the astronauts can fix for themselves new upgrades to the space suits... While in space or at the space station...

[mrcooleh]

Should have got Tim to be the model! Can you imagine how much more excitement and enthusiasm to the presentation.

[honkhonk]

holy shit can she stop smiling for the full hour. its actually creepy.

[mttnnig]

How does the space suit protect astronauts from radiation?? That's a great And he never answers it???

[MicroMacr]

Very happy to have Jim as an advocate for NASA. Keep doing what you're doing!

[mttnnig]

He says "WE" are going to the Moon by 2024..?? Didn't "we" already do that..??

[MW_]

When you're trying to sneak candy into the lunar movie theater...

[goldmanking]

Seems like a huge waste of money and R & D. The suits they used for the apollo missions worked perfectly for six missions, so why don't they just reuse the designs and materials? Same as the hardware, the rockets and LEMs worked flawlessly for six missions, so Nasa could just reuse the old designs and save themselves time and money. Wonder why?

[IemonandIime]

1:15 "A permanent and reusable command module around the moon for 15 years"
15 years == permanent?

[fbisurveillancevan]

If you fart in that suit you'll smell that for hours.

[davidgaudin]

can't wait to see what space X comes up with .

[mttnnig]

Yep another 4 years from now.. oh wait another 8 years from now.. and so on and so on and so on they've been doing this for the past 40 years... we're going to the moon and we're going to do the other thing... we have such great technology... but we're not sure what some of the ice in Antarctica in that's too hostile and environment to explore.... yeah Antarctica is like cold and stuff.. let's go 2 Mars

[Elevator]

I think her face was getting tired from all the smiling lol
