Comments on: Yesterday’s spacewalk on ISS, though successful, was cut short because of spacesuit discomfort issues unrelated to the earlier water leak problems. https://behindtheblack.com/behind-the-black/points-of-information/yesterdays-spacewalk-on-iss-though-successful-was-cut-short-because-of-spacesuit-discomfort-issues-unrelated-to-the-earlier-water-leak-problems/ Wed, 25 Dec 2013 19:24:30 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Orion314 https://behindtheblack.com/behind-the-black/points-of-information/yesterdays-spacewalk-on-iss-though-successful-was-cut-short-because-of-spacesuit-discomfort-issues-unrelated-to-the-earlier-water-leak-problems/#comment-134424 Wed, 25 Dec 2013 19:24:30 +0000 http://behindtheblack.com/?p=26623#comment-134424 What shocks me the most is that these spacesuits were built in the late 70’s-early 80’s…It’s time for a 21st century spacesuit.
Nasa’s pace of R&D on this item is glacial….

Just try to stand for a solid 5.5 hours without ever moving. At all. Just wiggling your toes.

Its hard. Add in a little cold and I would be out as soon as possible. Even knowing that 10 minutes after I’m able to move freely I would be fine and willing to go back for another hour or so. After a nice lunch though.

Working in such a closed and confined area is the pits.
