A spacecraft and spacesuit 2-in-1 concept with furry micro-macro-shenanigans. Furries sharing a spacesuit with micros is something I want to explore more in the future. Seems like such a funny concept, I wonder why it hasn’t been done before? Or is it I just haven’t seen it be done?
The suit is loosely based on something called the “Command/Control Pressure Suit”.
(1/5) World Space Week is an international celebration of #science and #technology, and their contribution to the betterment of the human condition. The United Nations General Assembly declared in 1999 that World Space Week will be held each year from October 4-10. In celebration of #WSW2023 we want to show you four projects that are at the intersection of space exploration, science and technology. https://www.worldspaceweek.org/
📆 December 22, 2023 “NASA and its contractors still face multiple challenges with development”, the #GAO found in a recent audit of the #Artemis mission. As a result, takeoff 🚀 “is unlikely to occur in 2025.” The GAO’s auditors project a launch date in early 📆 2027.
Various complications can thwart on-time air travel from one city to the next, but that’s nothing compared with moving a crew of people 238,855 miles away to an #inhumane environment.
In 📆 August 2021, #NASA’s Office of Inspector General documented #spacesuit development delays https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/12/22/nasa-artemis-moon-delay-gao-report/
• When a distinguished but elderly #scientist 👨🔬 states that something is #possible, they are almost certainly right. When they state that something is #impossible, they are very probably #wrong.
• The only way of discovering the #limits of the #possible is to venture a little way past them into the #impossible.
• Any sufficiently #advanced#technology is indistinguishable from #magic.
@SkipHuffman would have to be done by #SpaceRobot with #SBSP (and probably #3dPrinted parts). If #AsteroidMining were already developed, material would also be available. AFAIK the reactor needs a minimum size, so an experiment aboard a #SpaceStation wouldn't be an option. Outside the bots would have the advantage they don't need a #Spacesuit, oxygen or sleep
