Who was suppose to be building a landing craft? There is no budget for this at all? NASA has funded Space X and Blue Origin to build landers Bezos already over budget and Space X needs a bulldozer to build a landing pad for a 7 story building. Maybe the Alpaca made more sence for both crew and...

you might think after NASA's grainy almost hard to see TV of the Apollo 11 Moon walk and the coverage of the Apollo 15, 16 and 17 EVA's that NASA would have shared better TV coverage from Skylab EVA's. Yes NASA had no TDRS sats at the time so it would have been on and off but what I have seen of...

Yes the Golden Slippers were mounted inside the solar disc as foot restraints not really very good pictures from the Skylab EVAs Pic 1 is the position of the golden slippers pic 2 shows the ladder up to the ATM Pic 3 shows that it was blue

I will say Collins dropped out of the new EVA suit contract so only Axiom is working on new suits. you might do a clean suit and see what that might look like. NASA planned to replace its ISS suits with a variant of these new Moon suits

Skylab didn't have many EVA hand holds like the ISS only a ladder to reach the ATM and golden slipper up there for the feet I think the ladder is white now there must of been some kind of hand hold to get to it

Just a thought when you release this you might do several SCN like the launch MOI, landing , and on the surface. You might get BrianJ to help with some of these

Man thats way cool we need that in other addons

the only thing I have seen is when you are in an EVA and turn on the head lights the man freezes you might move the controls as well maybe use 4 & 6 for side to side and 1 & 3 to rotate as with the other EVA guys do

Yes as stated earlier maybe time to have these grafts made for Artemis

Yes Artemis 2, the first manned mission was planned for this year but pushed back a year due to Boeing slow walking the SLS build and a heat shield issue. I wonder if the EFT mission showed the issue with the heat shield ? This Gateway station might start to launch in 2027 or 2028 and that is...

When do we get to use these guys

Just want to share some pictures . Note the clean cockpit in lower equipment bay with room for the crew all down there, a picture of the under garment under the Space X suit.. the little X marks the door for the toilet and the is a curtain which conceals that area and last a look at the...

I like the sandbox idea and i was able to find the first of the Sally Ride grafts . it is hard to read but i tried to explain it. this the first of 7 grafts and as you can see Constellation was a dead man walking. I will work on the others to show you guys as well the COTs program is one of...

I am not a big fan of the Space X suits but the people who use them seem to love them. the inside on orbit photos from Dragon make it look really clean and easy to get around in, on the other hand Starliner looks like the inside of a trash can. NASA gave Boeing twice as much money for Starliner...

Kennedy was hell bent on beating the Russians on the world stage and landing on the Moon goal did just that and set us up as the number 1 super power with out a war. LBJ was truly a space cowboy and saw what Kennedy saw and valled to see it through. NASA had an open checkbook through Apollo13...

well said and yes NASA is underfunded but I think their goals aren't well defined the Ride report told NASA it needed real defined goals and thats how we got on the right track to get the ISS and the Earth Observation Satellites and a wealth of knowledge about our home

Yes your right . Artemis seems to be like a balloon floating through air with a leak in it. today NASA's budget is such a small part of our spending other than we see it where we don''t other things like Ukraine aid or these new woke policy's that go un seen. Back in 1985 NASA was lost in...

Just some new updates about Artemis. the GAO has released a report with state that only 4 SLS's are funded at this time but there is a decadal survey through Artemis 8. The Artemis plan seems pretty up in the air for now with the uncertainty about the Artemis 3 flight the report states that...

those suits look super cant wait to use them do they load up on gattis's rovers ? Yes they will be used for Artemis ops but also on the ISS for EVA''s Might need to add a mission patch

You might need to think about making these guy with a clean suit as well for LEO missions
