The belts extend from an altitude of about 640 to 58,000 km (400 to 36,040 mi) above the surface, in which region the radiation levels vary. Apollo astronauts did this in stride with minimum risk. Twice in each trip.
@@ElectricSmurf the Apollo capsules hull was just a thin sheet of aluminum. Thats not going to stop much if any radiation, so there will be little difference if a capsule is open or closed. That said their estimated exposure for the Polaris dawn mission is similar to what astronauts on the ISS absorb in about 3 months.
Oh wow, this is actually pretty sick. When I read the caption I just assumed it was a military operation. I guess that shows where my expectations lie with humanity😅
I understand being relatable to a younger generation but the Quarantine was a Throwback to an even earlier age- an example on film can be found in the movie Apollo 13....
I would not say this is "really risky" in a "omg they might not make it" sense. Yes it's pushing the boundaries of space exploration and doing things that have never been done before, but there are so many redundancies, the spacecraft has been rigorously tested, and the astronauts have been more than adequately trained.
Either SpaceX has perfect test results with tons of margin in their design of both the suits and the capsule, and their procedures are flawless OR Elon found engineering and mission operations and forced them to commit to some crazy asinine scenario which is needlessly risky.
Why why would they fly them into that type of radiation and not have adequate shielding to protect them? There are certain types of radiation there that we have no defenses against in which to protect us??????
Seems like an air lock - even a temporary panel - might be better. If a blast of space sand punctures the space suit or comms breakdown from EM while a brittle suit leaks or .... something I can't think of, would rather that happen two by two. I know, these are smart, hopefully careful people so they will be Ok, but it seems like a lock might be a bit better.
@@michaelbee8263 Other than one on the ISS itself. I guess that would be adding a lot of weight. It looks like Apollo didn't have one either. And apparently they operate at a fraction of our atmospheric pressure in capsule and just breath pure oxygen. If they do encounter something excessive they might retake cover faster without an airlock. If I'm reading correctly, you've got about 15 seconds before you loose consciousness under no pressure.
First new EVA spacesuit in 40 years pretty much, testing the suit in an operational environment is the main reason for this mission, which is why they have 2 spacex engineers on board, but there’s also other scientific studies that happened on it.
Actually it doesn't. Vacuum doesn't suck or do anything. Instead, it is the pressurized environment inside the spacecraft or space suit that is pushing outward.
It is sad that we have to worry about enemies, and perhaps even allies who are really hidden enemies, causing atmosphere leaks or infecting the other crew members with a debilitating illness, but such is the reality when dealing with humans.
Uh, flying into the Van Allen belt at the peak of the solar cycle isn't a great idea! Combine that with an EVA, full capsule depress, and a 45 minute repress time... I give them a 50% chance at best. Is Elon making a space snuff film??
Meanwhile back on Earth, famine, war, extreme poverty, oppression and untold human suffering. If we can solve all the complex problems of sending men and women into space, solving humanity’s suffering here on earth should be a doddle. So WHY are children still lying awake at night hungry? 😢🙏🇬🇧
“If we can go on a scientific mission, why can’t we solve every problem that has been commonplace in human civilization since it’s beginning?” Fixed it for you.
The total physical embodiment of the words,”Ego Trip.” EVAs heretofore required about two years of specific training to be done safely. At least they talked them out of actually exiting the craft. Is that really an EVA or just sticking one’s head out of the fishbowl? If they succeed what is gained? If they fail(die) what is lost?
How is this an “ego trip”? What? Because the commander is rich that means he must only do things for ego? Idk that sounds like jealous projection to me not actually logic You do realise they have been training for this for 2 years right? This mission is 2 years of training and preps. You’d know that if you knew anything about it They’ll also be doing additional research such as wearing contacts to measure eye pressure, the first in space X-ray using solar radiation as a source and many of other scientific objectives How about you stop being a cunt?
