The Extravehicular Activity (EVA) Suit
Ғылым және технология
At ~700 km above Earth, the EVA suit will support the Polaris Dawn crew in the vacuum of space during the first-ever commercial astronaut spacewalk.
Evolved from the Intravehicular Activity (IVA) suit, the EVA suit provides greater mobility, a state-of-the-art helmet Heads-Up Display (HUD) and camera, new thermal management textiles, and materials borrowed from Falcon’s interstage and Dragon’s trunk.
Building a base on the Moon and a city on Mars will require millions of spacesuits. The development of this suit and the execution of the spacewalk will be important steps toward a scalable design for spacesuits on future long-duration missions as life becomes multiplanetary.

That's crazy that they managed to incorporate all the features required for EVA such as articulating joints while still maintaining much of the sleek aesthetic of the original flight suit.

they did it because all of the life support hardware is contained inside Dragon instead of in the suit like other EVA suits. This is fine for Polaris dawn because the EVA will be short and they don't have to move around much (similar to the Gemini EVAs which also had the life support taken care of by the spacecraft)

For those of you who may be uninformed, these new EVA suits are a bit different from the EMUs we see on the ISS in that these will be constantly attached to an umbillical providing all the neccessary power, air, and cooling to the suits, hence why theyre missing the big "backpack" like the NASA EMUs. They wont be fully seperated from the ship like the EMUs can. Nonetheless these will still be some pretty sick upgrades for their purpose! Apparently they will also have HUDs in their visors that give them all their data kinda like in sci-fi movies!

@@davidusry5048 Yes, the Soviets fully acknowledge we landed on the moon, and if they found out we "faked" it, they would publicly humiliate the U.S. Also, why would we not have? We had the rocket technology, and the reason why we did not make more than six landings there is because the cost of each mission was insanely expensive, and only funded this extremely due to the competition with the soviets. The total cost of the Apollo project, adjusted for today's money, was $250 Billion dollars, which in comparison to today's budget for NASA, is just a measly $25 Billion. We do have rockets that rival apollo today that are being developed, such as Starship, but the funding they have is astronomically less than NASA did during the cold war. For the part where people say "We faked it, we had the rocket technology so why wouldn't we have the CGI technology." The total computing power required to CGI the moonlandings was not accessible in the slightest, and physical sets would not have been as accurate as they had needed to be. To be clear, and I know this fact has been repeated a million times, but the computer that sent Apollo to the moon had about 1/100,000 the computing power your phone does, and even a super-computer from the 1980s had about 5000 times less computer power than your phone, and weighed 5000 times as much. So, believe what you want to believe, but don't blindly accept people just saying the moon landing wasn't real.

You do realize that a majority of the technology that's SpaceX uses is NASA developed? Nasa exists as a research organization developing new technologies and systems for use in space. Spacex is excellent at utilizing these technologies and systems. Take starlink for example. NASA's work on communications and cubesats have been vital in the development of starlink. Nasa is very underfunded will we should not be doing is talking about cutting its funding even more. Especially with SpaceX's final goal in mind being multi-planetary life. Nasa has a better track record on Mars missions than any other agency or company. Without that development, we wouldn't even be talking about landing a starship on Mars.
