This is an open forum area for all members for discussions on all issues of science and origins. This area will and does get volatile at times, but we ask that it be kept to a dull roar, and moderators will intervene to keep the peace if necessary. This means obvious trolling and flaming that becomes a problem will be dealt with, and you might find yourself in the doghouse.
As usual, Tweb rules apply. If you haven't read them now would be a good time.

Interesting tidbit:
If it looks like the spacesuit is built for a movie set, that could be because the suit designer is legendary Hollywood costume designer Jose Fernandez, who is known for costumes in blockbusters such as "Wonder Woman," "Wolverine," "Batman vs. Superman" and "Captain America: Civil War."

One of the ways they made them less bulky was by having the capsule act as life support, whereas a lot of those features were integrated into the orange suits. That's a compromise, but it might be a sensible one, since capsules almost never fail.

Originally posted by Leonhard View PostTrue, but I was thinking of the orange pressure suits that the astronauts typically wore. There's a lot of testing and experience that went into those. I'm sure NASA wouldn't let them get away with sacrificing too much safety for style.

Not very well thought out.

Originally posted by Sparko View PostSpaceX's suits do work in a vacuum. They just wouldn't be radiation safe or keep them warm very long in open space. And of course the Oxygen has to be piped in, but that is the same on the orange suits. I think functionally they are equivalent. The orange color is mostly just for visibility in case they have to abandon the capsule in the ocean, and I think they have inflatable bladders in them (I could be wrong about that)
