What Makes SpaceX's Suits So Good?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 июл 2024
- Created by the Hollywood costume designer behind Batmans’ iconic rubber six-pack, SpaceX’s snazzy new spacesuit pairs the bold lines of a couture tuxedo with the utopian optimism of vintage sci-fi.
How did they make it so trim? And is it really the same suit Elon Musk blasted into the inky void behind the wheel of his cherry-red Tesla roadster?
Join us today as we model the ultimate in wearable tech and learn what’s so special about SpaceX’s Astronaut Suit.
Back in May of last year veteran NASA astronauts Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken blasted off from Florida in a test flight to the International Space Station.

What Makes SpaceX's Suits So Good?

Imagine running into aliens and having no drip.
How embarrassing.
Haha. Yeah, might as well not even go to space if you're not looking good.
Underrated comment 😂😂
Aliens: SHEEESH ICE
Humans: all life forms can speak sheesh.
Gotta look fresh for all them Asari when we get to the citadel.
@@michaelmorales6240 Ok if Indians is Asian that means Europeans is Asian.
I blew your mind.
Love how one of the astronauts said, his son said he looked cool.
Wholesome
Which is funny, because SpaceX suits look ridiculous. Like a first draft of a spacesuit.

@@Ghost-xu3xs Thanks bud. Honestly, it just kinda came out of nowhere. My name's Eamon and I'm a big chemistry nerd and Eamonia kinda sounded like Ammonia (oh yeah, nitrates my man) so I just let it rip. Thanks for the kind words. A refreshing change of pace these days. Be happy and seriously, don't take no shit. If you ever make down to the big easy, first round's on me.
After the form following function considerations, If there's room to make it nice looking, why not.
It should be made safer, instead of looking nice. There is no room for error in space.
@@joelau2383 Safety IS one of its functions.
@@joelau2383 it's safe as every other suit?
@@joelau2383 why cant it be both
@@joelau2383 Most of the nasa suits are decades old and are always in the verge of falling apart.
Let's be honest, Elon just wanted it to look cool😎
Why not make it both. It’s only a pressure suit, not an EVA suit.
True. Look at the starship. He's admitted he's sacrificed marginal efficiency gains "because pointy looks cool!"
We'll get stylish EVA suits eventually
They look like Janitors. Suits are meant to save lives.
@@bartacomuskidd775, and these are more than capable of doing so, and if/when SpaceX goes onto develop EVA’s, I’m sure the’ll both be able to fulfill there intended purpose while still looking as more than big Orange Overalls.
If you don’t think NASA didn’t go over those pressure suits with a fine tooth comb, then you have no idea how closely they followed everything SpaceX did!
If they had given the same scrutiny to Boeing their capsule would be safely delivering Astronauts to the ISS…
I keep having to remind myself that there's a tesla roadster with Starman out there in space.
Sure there is. Next to Santa's sleigh.

Imagine one day going to your local Space Suit Warehouse where you get fitted for your own personal suit before going on your commercial flight to Mars.
Some primitive future if you still physically go somewhere to get fitted. Realistically it would be a 3d scan and a pick up from distribution center or home delivery, hell let's go with 3d printed suits.
@@escapedcops08 ok
That will be for the more wealthy travelers, there will also likely be cheaper non tailored versions for a person that is on a budget. (Crazy to think one day people on a budget will be able to afford space flight)
@@escapedcops08 dude, it’s a spacesuit. I’d say that’s uncommon enough to go to a tailor.
@@escapedcops08 lol. Primitive future thinking. Let’s just teleport yourself to Mars. No need for a space suit.
Styling is advertising, which in the commercial scene is incredibly important
Nobody wants to wear orange junk into space. The look is important for space tourism.

@@alanmay7929 He's saying that the old suits were bulky and ugly and that space tourists want to look and feel cool in space.

@@62sy astolfo you dirty boy/non gendet
It attracted a lot of attention. Looks great and everything matches, suite, rocket, capsule. Fantastic. Good job Elon.
There's a Robert Heinlein novel "Have Space Suit Will Travel".
Terribly outdated now, but still worth a read.
Lots of info about what a space suit should do, and how they can be really badly designed.
Yeah, it's easier to "load up" an astronaut when so much is in the back pack, but the astronaut can't reach anything in case of an emergency.
This ain't a movie. People can die up there! Those suits have to first and foremost PROTECT the wearer.
@@lakecountynaturalist7617 True. These space suites allow more freedom to move and inflates of the cabin pressure decompresses. Style and color works too. Thank you for your reply.
@@ronpalmer2u Yeah its weird people are worried about safety when these are more safe and better in every way
@@lakecountynaturalist7617 they do in fact protect them though and now they look great as well haha

insert “anvil hammering sound” and iron man theme
And this version can spacewalk.
@@fish2468 lol
Not another stupid marvel dlc characters please
They need LEDs on those suits.. make em look like Tron
Could help if blackout in spaceshuttle maybe?
I was actually thinking that to
they're great suits, but they're also strictly for if the capsule depressurized, unlike the space shuttle suits which had to be able to be able to float and escape from the shuttle (as useful as that was...)
So you think that having a higher safety level is bad or useless? Because having safety is never a bad thing.
Improvements suggested in NASA after accident reports included additional bump, impact, and neck protection. These suits do not include these features. Specific warning was given to not put all faith in the seat straps because they can fail under severe forces. Something resembling motorcycle racing gear with neck brace would be better. Some impact absorbing materials can also potentially help mitigate radiation exposure to some degree.

Excellent job I never considered style as being even a modest consideration because of the incredible demands placed upon it, but it looks really cool I think every body is going to copy, they look so sharp.
I would like to have a comparison between these and NASA's new flight suits.
I need one of them suits and yes I want one in the original military green
That David Bowie pun is so SMOOTH.
Great side topic!
Yeah but those boots ! Looks like something a shrimp boat captain would wear.
yeah, they should have made them cooler looking....
Great comment. I thought they looked liked farmers gum boots.
Well I think its just easier to take off
@@strictlyaroundtheworld3489 The boots are attached to the suit and cannot be taken off
I’m sure the parachutes could double as nets after splashdown! Musk is so forward thinking! Recoup some costs of the launch by adding a small commercial shrimping operation to the recovery phase since the boats are already out there and the nets are cast!
🤣
Oh I see, they making a new series " *Power Rangers : Space Edition* "
The child hood of memories
I hope they added a recorder to the car and suit! Because that has to be a beautiful journey from sitting in the cars perspective.
To be honest these are amazing space suits for flight inside a space capsule. One day it’s gonna be me inside a space capsule with one of these space suits
Once my friends heard starman they immediately yelled “do the jej” and started dancing.
The under pressure pun easily justifies a like on the video
Form Always Follows Function & “that” is beautiful.!
Looking forward to seeing them use this space suit outside of a spaceship.

Hahaha!!!
It's a very cool suit 🕴 and highly functional too
These suites are awesome 👌
I always forget he yeeted that car into space. Man's a legend.
The most awesome thing is that the car was supposed to go to the Tesla founder, and Elon took it for himself.
Also, they're made with a Corinthian leather liner.
I think it has a positive and emotional boost to morale when you look cool doing whatever job it is you do
Props to Elon for providing us with space drip to make us more aesthetic when confronted by alien life forms. Great job making astronauts look great while exploring space!
I like what SpaceX did this is the future of next generation of astronauts
I was impressed when seeing those suites first time. They looked very well designed and refreshing-non-NASA.
NASA rocks - completely utilitarian, no BS
@@kevinwelsh7490 SPACE X rocks - innovation excites
I am sure SpaceX studied all of the NASA suits and incorporated plenty of their ideas into their suits. Actually, IIRC a company named David Clark in Mass. made the first pressure suits.
@@gavcom4060 SPACEX rocks - crew is borderline expendable
@@kevinwelsh7490 yeah and they’re slow as hell, because our lousy ass govt
Thanks for the video. The suits look very good.
That David Bowie joke, though..❤😁
Am I the only one who thought the orange space suits kinda looked cool too?
I'm not sure about cook, but they were definitely iconic.
Style is art and Artists continually have advanced technology yes make the suits look good the helmet is really cool
Not the first time the fashion industry was involved with space suits. The original moon suit was partly designed by Playtex. And just as well too- traditional engineers were coming up with something that looked like a cross between a minisub and a robot from a fifties' SF movie.
What do aliens think when they pass by that Tesla in space lol
To even imagine a normal car in that supposed environment is comical.
From a design point of view I think the boots make the suit look really naff.
I like you already
The whole thing looks naff. I’ve hated the style since the moment I saw it. I hate traditional male formalwear in general, though, so it’s a given with their design. The NASA suits had a charm and aesthetic appeal that will last generations while these will be forgotten by the next cultural cycle.
@@CharlieQuartz I used to be a biker and I think the whole suit looks what someone with poor taste in bike leathers would wear.

Right tool for the right job.
Let me guess it is much cheaper then NASA space suits
Why does NASA make the same suit?
For me is interesting that NASA and ROSCOSMOS space suits looks similar but both are very different from this one . I’m not any specialist in the field but my perception is that the old suits are designed with any extraordinary situation in mind when this one is not .
@@flappingflight8537 well they where made ages ago too but what I mean is what ever SpaceX is doing it is much cheaper and the have cost efficiency in mind. Like the rocket booster that is rousable.
@@Elpis22 I hope there wouldn’t be any extraordinary situations which will prove or disprove( most probably) such a solution . Then the good looking ( which is questionable for me ) and the cost effectiveness will be the last things of importance:)
Exactly the comment I was looking for. No over blown budget to fill people pockets lol,
Never thought I'd see storm troopers being likened to The Stig.
I am thankful to live in a time where an American entrepreneur doesn’t have to rely on government for exploration of space. The current Astronauts gave it a 5 star rating and said it was even better than what NASA is currently using speaks volumes. Not only is it functional but “looks cool” it’s not just that but it more importantly inspires the younger generation into pursuing the space program. That too me is brilliant and something we’ve been needing for a long time. Make space exploration great again!
It will be cool if spaceX launched a dummy like starman but call it stargirl or something for the first orbital test of starship.
and make the orbit in a way, so that they rondevous at some point
Where can I buy SpaceX suit?
It’s so cool! It really does look like it’s a spacesuit you would see in the movies!
great video 👍
Simply Amazing!
Not at all
Space X already have fantastic engineering so why the need to overhype? It's a cabin suit not a space suit and it's an inner system ship, not a starship.
More hype= more public interest more public intrest= more public investors more public investors= company stocks do better companies stocks do better=more large investors such as hedgefunds more large investors=more money to spend on sending cars into space.
Essentially, if there is an opportunity to make things look better, it's a good business decision to do so. Sticking with the old orange cabin suits, which to my knowledge only offer advantages over these in rare circumstances, doesn't help business. Redesigning the EVA suits would be really difficult, as making them less functional is really risky, whilst making them more functional is really difficult, especially if your trying to make them look good. So cabin suits it is. As for it not being a starship, that doesn't matter. Space is space.
@@Santisima_Trinidad Fair point. Hype works on the stock price in the short term provided you deliver in the longer term.
As for space being space, a word becomes pointless when it applies to everything. There's space down here as well which doesn't make my car a spaceship except in my imagination. :-)
@@DeclanMBrennan true. But space applies to all space, be tgat inner system space,galactic space, or universal space. Space.
@@Santisima_Trinidad Which would be a good argument if it was called "Spaceship" rather than "Starship". And yes I know that the sun is technically a star but stars normally refer to other systems.

It's a IVA suit, they have alot of room to make it look good
I'm giving this video a thumbs up just for the "Under Pressure" pun.
We need the next space walk suit to be clone trooper armor XD
Yes style is very important You want to inspire the next generation of astronauts.
BUT form and function are top on the list on the list Nicely done
I notice disadvantages in the neck if it is compared with the “old” NASA Design.
I'd be more interested in the actual technological improvements over the old style than style issues.. Also what about toilet facilities?
The second question , nothing has changed : nappies / diapers
There is a waste system in the Dragon capsule, right over their heads! Joe Scott has a video about space toilets, and mentions it. But, they do use diapers too, I’m sure.
Yup. Style is important. I'm still waiting for MIT Biosuit for space walks and planetary exploration in the future.

For some reason I'm still picturing Romulans in welleys everytime I see these suits 🤔🤔
I think they look terrible and I love most things Musk and his team develop I just think they missed a chance to be real special on this one
I couldn't agree more. It seems to me they tried a bit too hard to make them look cool. Now, don't get me wrong the previous suits look bulky and uncomfortable; they were plain awful. But Elon went overboard on these.

I like the Space X suits don’t get me wrong they remind me of the Mercury suits but I love the pumpkin suits (fight me, I’m weird) they were just iconic and nostalgic for me as a kid growing up in school in the early and mid 2000s all the space and science books always had an orange clad astronaut somewhere on the text book
It never hurts to look your best in any situation!
Good styling means that a full range of motion is available, to allow the wearer to stand, sit, flex, rotate. Tailoring these suits to the individual makes them... clothes, rather than universal sacks.
So, yes, styling is essential.
One of the major complaints about shuttle-era suits were that they were bulky and restrictive. Restriction and bulk aren't things you want in an emergency situation.
Not to mention, stylish suits take up less storage space. Yet another point for style.
Shuttle era flightsuits are slightly less relevant to this design than the Apollo suits that could be plugged into either onboard air and cooling or into a portable backpack for walking on the moon. Apollo suits used connectors on the chest, not a combination connector on one leg. Apollo suits were also white and disposable, with various parts getting thrown overboard during the return trip.

Interesting!
How Cool keep going
If the Ares 3 mission had these tailor made tux instead of the usual orange pumpkin suit, it would've been game over for Mark Watney when his airlock exploded.
This is what happened when the government of far far away from the creation and innovation of the future
No, this is what happens when the private sector can focus on details when the bulk of the science was already developed by governmental billions.
