They're not EVA suits, if that's what you're asking. They're pressurized suits for inside a capsule.

>>11723837
Right but if you lose pressure in space, would you not need seals on your gloves?

>>11723934
They have seals, but they're not EVA tier seals. It's not a spaceship in suit form like the EVA suit is.

>>11723934
WACKY WAVING INFLATABLE FLAILING ARM TUBE MAN

That uniform looks like straight from space balls or something
Why is it so goofily blocky?

>>11723946
Because it was designed by a literal costume designer?

I like how Elon thought this was a cool design that would inspire kids to get involved in space travel and it actually just looks like straight ass.

Let's be real: this is kino and it will not easily be topped. Before you design your shitty future "fashion" spacesuit you should consider if it actually looks better than the amazing, iconic, immortal design here.

The shit in the OP looks like what the concierges in Hotel Mars will wear.

Imagine fucking up this badly because Right >>>>>>>>>> Left that's for sure

>>11723953
It looks well in the capsule where it belongs to be fair and on Starman where history will remember it.

The suit would look better if it had more black highlights. There should also be an EVA variant.

>>11723980
>bro I wanna look like the guard on the pedophile shuttle heading to space prison

>>11723966
woah, nice stage.

JUST

>gimme that "yes I am the janitor and chef de partie on this interstellar flight" aesthetic, if you would not mind

>>11723966
Thats an EVA suit, they are wearing usual space suits
I doubt their new suit has much better anything than current ones(because its not a very complicated thing in general), yet its design is just, i dont know, like some sci fi villain redshirt mooks will look like to accentuate their comedic goofiness
Fucking hell a man with so much boner for cool looks surely could get something which looks stunning, yet we get this

>>11724064
His truck also looked like shit tbf

>>11723977
Fuck me, and they didnt even care for aesthetics back in 1960ies

>>11724071
Is this new musk design style now?
Make it look as goofy as possible?

>>11724088
It's the poorly rendered early 00s videogame aesthetic, but IRL. Even the orange suits look better.

>>11724072
There has never been a time they didn't care for aesthetics.

Imagine. You get to space and the aliens make fun of your clothes.

>>11723980
>this is your brain on Musk

You faggots are fucking delusional.

>>11723966
>The shit in the OP looks like what the concierges in Hotel Mars will wear.
my sides

Actually fucking caring about fashion over functionality.
You people are confirmed low T homosexuals.

I like the suits, but even if you don't, consider that if a design like this works then that means other suit designs without tons of greebles. Future iterations of the suit or other flight suits can be relatively streamline in a way you might prefer to SpaceXs style.

>>11724158
Lol, cope.

>>11724169
Ok Elon.

>>11724158
>not recognizing the value of appearances
never gonna make it

>>11723977
I think the dudes are just manlets. Put that suit on a normal sized guy and it'll look much better.

>>11723966
The moon suits looked cool but were heavy and hard to move around in. If astronauts expect to spend more time and do more in space they'll need lighter and more flexible suits.

>>11723966
Thats an EVA suit. The SpaceX pressure suit actually looked prettt cool in position in Dragon.

>>11724158
If the astronauts looked cooler, the spaceship would have launched today.

>>11723953
it looks great on a mannequin, but Bob and Doug are a little chonky

probably ought to look good when they fly Tom Cruise

>>11723831
wait till you see the skirts for the weemin astronauts

Suits look great. Thread is full of retards.

>>11723977
it's not that they didn't care about aesthetic, it's that they knew form follows function. They designed a suit that performed exactly as specified, within a defined design envelope, and knew that it would be pleasing.

>>11724266
meant to reply to
>>11724072

>>11724266
Yep. Whereas SpaceX got a Hollywood costume designer to design form and then fitted function on by sending it to engineers. Wrong way round.

Smaller shoulder pads and less black on the boots and the suits would look top tier. As it is they look mostly fine once the visors are down, it's just that the two DM-2 guys are middle aged manlets.

Since Crew Dragon can accommodate normal sized humans we should start to see less selection bias towards tiny astronauts.

>>11723946
Because Musk intentionally makes them look like sci fi

>>11724025
>hands through suit wrists
WTF is Elon thinking? It's like he's trying to make it harder to operate in an emergency.

>>11723831
They're just basic life support suits, they've got air circulation and heat management systems, and are made up of a fire-retardant material. They aren't designed for spacewalks or even really any kind of EVA. They will preserve the life of the wearer if they're exposed to vacuum, but aren't designed for anything else.
>>11724279
If I had the ability, time and money to design a suit I probably would have gone with like a combination of the new NASA and Boeing suits. The NASA suit's helmet is still top tier functional aesthetic and I still would rather trust a good old fashioned helmet over the Boeing suit's zip hood. That being said, the zip-open design is really useful for donning and doffing the suit more easily so I'd integrate that. SpaceX having all thermal regulation and air supply lines routed through a less obtrusive thigh port is also a nice piece of design so I'd lose the classic belly lines in favor of that. Leave the limbs somewhat baggy like the NASA suit for plenty of movement freedom and keep the torso tight like the Boeing suit to reduce the overall bulk.
Let a competent and reserved clothing designer at it afterwards to make it easy to fit to multiple sizes and shapes of people and clean it up so it doesn't look dumpy and then call it a day. Give it the matte white/charcoal black color scheme because it's the most based aesthetic.

>>11724289
>like cheap sci fi

FTFY

>>11724355
fuuuuuck the orange boi is [eqn]aesthetic[/eqn]

>>11724158
the suits looking like crap is an unnecessary distraction from the real science the suits should be innocuous.
our disgust reflex is quite strong

>>11724266
OR that aesthetic tastes were different in the past. And Musk is stuck in the 80s like all man children.

>>11724289
>look like sci fi
That's a really bad approach. Form should always follow function in critical equipment.
Here's one of the most advanced IVA suits in the world. Note the safety features along with the single-layer construction.

>>11724368
Pretty hard to beat the OG, that helmet and baggy suit ARE the space aesthetic, because the space aesthetic is an iteration of the high altitude flight aesthetic.

>>11724385
This is the suit with counterpressure gloves to make them less cancerous to try and move your hands in right?

>>11724376
Form following function is a timeless and universal law of nature. In fact, the 80's are a great example. The automakers had just started using rudimentary Computational Fluid Dynamics, and the boxy shapes they got made for better aero. Better than the hand-designed cars, that is. But it was an improvement, and it looks (looked) cool because of it.

Here we see the astronauts enjoying some fun on ISS after their Dragon capsule docked with the station.

>>11723977
Broad shoulders and stockiness should disqualify astronauts for not being aesthetic

>>11724402
I hate that this aesthetic has given way to the melty plastic homogeneity of modern vehicles. Everything looks like what you'd get if you took the most generic sedan imaginable, made a chocolate model of it and blowtorched it until it started to all run together and turned that into a real car.
Fucking sickening. I don't care if it costs an extra 3% more fuel, bring back hard angles.

>>11724355
Say what you will about the SpaceX suit, the Boeing suit is so ugly. I'm not sure what's worse, the matching color shoes or the McDonald's Play Place porthole helmet.

>>11724433
Yeah that's 100% the fault of the obama era EPA. Draconian fuel economy restrictions = suppository cars. But it's all part of the greater effort to crush the human spirit :(

>>11724436
Yeah, the unicolor boots and gloves look a bit off, I'd prefer they both be black if I were in charge of the suit colors. The helmet is also weird, there is definitely merit in the design, it's much lighter and more compact than a conventional bucket, it's not a several pound weight on you for the hours you have to sit around prelaunch and then a few hours more sitting in the capsule during checking and fueling, but I wouldn't trust it to protect my head meat if it were to bang into something. I'd rather be a bit less comfortable physically but have the mental comfort of knowing there's a hard shell around my head.

>nooooo i'm autismoing my IQ is dropping too fast noooooooo

>>11724486
If it actually works, I wouldn't be surprised if SpaceX talked with them about a potential Mars surface suit.

>>11724486
I'd heard they're still working but it's quite tough to actually get the counterpressure to work in the crotch, armpits, elbows, and backs of the knees. At this point I'd say it would be more efficient to just use a hard plastic cup and let the joints have a little bit of air pressure, probably wouldn't need more than a quarter bar. If you can eliminate most air pressurization needs but retain most of the reduced bulk of the counterpressure suit it's still a vast improvement over current space undergarments.

>>11723831
They look like slave willy wonka factory workers.

>>11723946
It's because they're fat

>>11723831
The high ankle boots and edged shoulders reminiscent of military uniforms look good, but the texture and the helmets makes it all goofy.

>>11724444
Electric cars so far are roughly following the design standards of ICE cars but as battery tech gives them more and more range, hopefully that will change. The ability to place the engine in a many other locations likewise should open up many new design possibilities beyond the current array of jellybeans.
I'm guessing #3 is a Ford as they seem to be the only ones who still use the keypad locks.

>>11724562
What about crumple zone space?

>>11724562
Placing the engine at the front is intentional with electric vehicles too independent of the "customers are used to it being this way". It offers maximum safety for the people inside to have a large crumple zone at the front and if you have that you might as well throw the engine in there too. But the simple fact that people think that's how a car should look like probably means that's how they will look like for a long time.
You might really see that change when autonomous vehicles become common and people want to get a "lounge" model with back facing front seats

whats going on in this th-

>>11723831
They look like costumes for a cheap 1970s scifi movie, complete with wellington boots and motorbike helmet.

Should have make them red, to symbolize how short they will live if shit hits the fan.

Well the alternative.

At the risk of practicality, Having MCU tacticool suits would get normies more interested.

>>11723831
another retarded thread about OP not knowing what flight suits are. congrats on being a retard.

>>11724647
Not that anon, but he's not entirely wrong. The CAFE standards under Obama were changed. In order to meet the higher fuel economy standards, cars had to become more aerodynamic. This need pushed most car design into the same jellybean shape. Obama didn't wake up one morning and declare that all cars must look like jellybeans but that was the outcome of his decision to make CAFE standards stricter.

>>11724674
that actually looks a lot better. just make it grey or white and it's perfect.

>>11724586
Radical change is difficult. Both for customer acceptance and for the designers to breakaway from the constraints they've always known. The need for a crumple zone will keep some space in the front between the passenger compartment and the rest of the world but not necessarily in the current shape. Lounge type cars in autonomous vehicles are a good possibility. That could especially be true if human driving become rare which leads to lower crash rates which in turn mean less need for crumple zones. Then you could have all manner of configurations.

>>11724572
Something that even rear engine ICE vehicles managed to have.

>>11724771
it will probably start with something like autonomous taxis and only autonomous driving zones, there the lounge design makes most sense and will ease the customers into thinking more broadly in terms of design

>>11724022
>>11724025

>>11724757
Which isn't accurate either. the new CAFE standard took action when Obama was in office but the standard went through the congress in 2007. What Obama did was establishing federal standards

>>11724400
I believe so. Ted and Nicolai are working on mechanical counterpressure gloves, some version of their IVA suit will be the first with them.

You didn't. Theres a zipper on the forearm. It's one piece

They make the torso look huge yet the legs look short. The groin seam is really low, and the rest of the legs are lost to the boots. The legs don't move good and they waddle when they walk. Might need a space belt to sinch that waist when not pressurized.

>>11723831

Putting everything internally is probably why they look so blocky compared to the traditional suits, which are baggy but clearly a lot of that is external stuff rather than the body inside.

>>11724022

>>11724444
These aren't any more aerodynamic than late 90s & early 2000s cars, as well as a whole lot less aerodynamic than they could be for the same manufacturing cost. Their bland aesthetic mediocrity and anonymizing conformity is mostly due to customers wanting to go unnoticed by cops and thieves and all manner of haters that are out there. Soulless is the new stealth.
>>11724408
In the suits they just look fat. And going by their faces I'll bet they are a whole lot fatter and older than 60s space jockeys.

>He has yet to succeed at anything but somehow spins every failure into proof of imminent success.
Ignoring the fact that this statement is paradoxical, as clearly he is at least successful at spinning his failures into "proof of imminent success", there's also the small issue of the fact that he is a successful entrepreneur at the very least - which is precisely why he can tweet away a billion dollars and you can't.
>>11726797
>Except economically, environmentally and ethically? Gee, you got me there!
Did you write the article? You seem heavily invested in this to the point where it is very clearly interfering with your ability to be rational, let alone objective. Do you know what fraud is?

>>11725721
You're thinking of Columbia.

You could modify them to be full blown space suits without too much trouble-you'd need a heat management system, air supply, light filters on the visor, etc. They've probably got a version of this that can work in space that is being worked on.

>>11725753
lol maureen hates elon so much

>>11726793
The first guy on project manhigh had the pressure seal on his glove go bad while he was riding up to the edge of the atmosphere to test the survivability of bailing out from that altitude.
His hand swelled up and turned beet read, and he lost some feeling, but he didn't bother reporting it until after he landed because it wasn't worth scrubbing the mission.
Also pressure suit failures in test chambers and other high altitude flights.
They're usually designed with multiple seals too, so even if you do have a breach in your suit, its contained in sections.
The real neat stuff is the skin suits based off compression bandages for burn victims that they're playing with. All you need is to keep the head and chest pressurized so your lungs work, but the rest of your body can be exposed to hard vacuum without anything worse than blood blisters where it bunches up around the joints.

kek reminds of this guy.

Flight suits become stiff when they are under pressure. You'd want to air it up at the last possible minute.
The spacex suits look bulky because there are a lot of layers of different materials, they are a lot thicker and heavier than somebody's winter coat.

>>11724190
Growfags can't into space.

This thread just reminded that a few years back some old fart astronauts from the 70s or whenever did some public speeches in favor of the government stopping Musk's space endeavours to make space flight inexpensive. What was that about? Were they afraid they'd loose special status if everyone got to go to space like they did?

>>11724486
Looks like some custom motorcycle leathers and off the shelf gloves. There is even a Dianese logo on everything.

>>11728615
>The spacex suits look bulky because there are a lot of layers of different materials
Reports are that the SpaceX suit is two layers, just the pressure layer and the Nomex outer layer.
>stiffness

>oldspace shenanigans

>>11729699
The AeroAstro team at MIT had Dianese build that suit. Here's a pic of it in the lab. Note this is a demo and research garment that is not at all ready for space. It has some really interesting features like the little pump on the knee pad.

Anyone knows how to make a good astronaut costume ? one kinda like Ad Astra, i liked the helmet design

The spacex suit was made to fit a mannequin, not actual people.

>>11723977

This is a good idea. Change my mind.

>>11731412
this is better in every way. the shoulders don't look retarded for one

>>11726799
It would be extremely painful

So do the SpaceX suits have any computer control or fans or something? Cause to me they kind of look like racing fire resistant suits.

>>11723831
take your meds schizo

>>11731611
hes a big guy

>>11731795
The outer layer is fire-resistant Nomex with some trim. The suit is to small to have any kind of internal fan nor any cooling garment, unlike an EVA suit. The wearer can probably dial up the air flow a little from the life support umbilical without fully pressurizing.

>>11724022
lmao he stands just like tumpy

>>11724385
This suit is 1000x cooler than this >>11723831

Functional aesthetics wins over fashion aesthetics in this case.

At least Orion/Artemis missions will have our astronauts in those better looking IVA suits.

>>11732220
Nicolai designed the Sokol 2 suit, he knows his shit. There’s a huge difference between someone who developed one of the most successful IVA suits ever flown and a comic book artist.

>>11726793
>>11728217
an EVA suit and a pressure suit are different. pressure suits are for altitudes in earth's atmosphere that would make your blood boil and kill you if you went without one. that's why high altitude flight suits look so much like spacesuits

>>11731412
>not actual people.

>>11733442
>an EVA suit and a pressure suit are different.
EVA suits are a type of pressure suit. So are IVA suits. So are partial and full capstan flight suits. What you are calling a Pressure Suit is an IVA suit, AKA Intra-Vehicular Activity Suit.

The SpaceX suit looks dumpy on actual people.

a. every chimp and human gets a banana each
or
b. chimps get six bananas, and humans get skyscrapers, factories, and banana milkshakes

It's probably more about training and habituation to extreme situations than being "fit".
Fit people are not necessarily strong or resistant.

>>11744244
It's because in weightless conditions your body isn't pulled down as much, and their body weight distributes more evenly. You may not like it, but this is what peak astronaut performance looks like.

Are the astronauts just fat or did they make the suits thicker/roomier?

>>11750791
yes

>>11723946
they're wearing a jacket over the top of the actual suit

>the old timers are all space socialists
except for Buzz Aldrin, who's very excited about SpaceX

>>11743811
Nothing is more restrictive to scientific progress than authoritarianism and social stasis.

>>11750791
Both, the suits need to be multilayered and have valves and other survival stuff that makes them bulkier punt on them. I could bet my left ball the suit in your pic isn't more than fabric, it's kinda pathetic how they even gave the mannequin a huge Chad-tier bulge.

>>11751269
Aldrin just wants somebody to make progress toward deeper space exploration. I don't blame him, he must really dread dying without seeing someone go beyond what he did.

>>11744244
Most astronauts are either gaunt or heavyset middle-aged and up guys.

Come to think of it, what do the new suits mean for crew rotations? If someone gets to ISS on a Dragon, but the next rotation happens via Soyuz/Starliner with their different suit designs, do the astronauts have to return in someone else's suits? Or am I being a retard and the capsules stay attached for as long as their respective crew is on board?

>>11751561
>Or am I being a retard and the capsules stay attached for as long as their respective crew is on board?
Generally this is the case with Soyuz, so yes.

>>11751561
yes, the capsules stay up with their crews for the whole duration and act as lifeboats

>>11750547
yes

>>11724064
Plot twist: the suit just reveals the inner self of the observer. You were a gay retard all along

it looks comfy and padded

YOU STUPID RETARDS AAAAAAAAA.
>suit is part of the seat-system
>think g-pants of airforce pilots and those fucking masks that drop from above in airplanes when the cabine loses pressure
it provides the pilots with their own emergency back up 'bubble' of pressure and air to breath.
In case say... space debris makes a hole in the hull. Or some engine leak causes the air to be toxic. Its not made for manwork in space, its made so that the pilots have an extra layer of safety so they can continue to operate the craft in case of an emergency. It's meant to be used only while seated basically.

>>11752142
it has three purposes:
1. making sure the astros don't suffocate if something is wrong with the cabin air
2. allow walking from the suit-up room to the vehicles and then down to the pad and into the rocket
3. provide comfort and support during launch and reentry

Truly the exception. Some of the astronaut corp 'get' it WRT private spaceflight but many of them, like Mae Jemison, actively work against anything not NASA.

I specifically remember Musk saying something about designing good-looking suits. Mercury and Gemini look so much more aesthetically pleasing.

>>11755516
Musk and Branson are both going for looks first, functionality second. This is unbelievably dangerous for mission critical aerospace hardware.
Even then, the SpaceX suits violate not just long-standing suit doctrine but also basic human factors. Two of the biggest issues I see are no knee locks during ascent and the back of the helmet basically waiting to brain the wearer.

>>11724158

>The suit is to small to have any kind of internal fan nor any cooling garment, unlike an EVA suit. The wearer can probably dial up the air flow a little from the life support umbilical without fully pressurizing.

I found the answer to this question. The umbilical in addition to being able to supply life support in an emergency also provides regular air cooling.

Did anyone figure out if these are iPads?

>>11756317
Finally found a quote. Yes it is an iPad. Not sure what model.

>BYRNE: The focus of this mission will put Hurley's test pilot skills to use. Named Demonstration Mission 2, Hurley and his crewmate Bob Behnken are tasked with flying SpaceX's Crew Dragon for the first time. The duo will put the sleek capsule to the test, flying it using a touch screen and iPads before it docks with the International Space Station.

>>11756317
yes, they're ipads
the suits don't have charging cables built into them

>>11756324
But what iPad?
Mini, Pro, or just plain iPad?

>>11756334

>Investors care about profits and returns. Dipshit /fa/gs don't have any money to invest in anything therefor it's pointless to pander to dipshit mongrels
He's right to a degree, a lot of investment is about brand and passion. That's one of the reasons tech companies like Apple are often overvalued in the market place.

>>11756336
Well this is /sci/,

>>11756324
It's looks big, do you think they have the max ipads?

>>11756342
This makes it look small. I don't know now.

Guy doesn't have a ball defender. Girls have clit defenders. This doesn't make much sense.

>>11726488
Think about this for a second. The girl is wearing not just female trousers (tights) but a second layer of blue shorts. Kirk's trousers are pretty tight, but his top is waaaaaaaay higher than the girls top. Isn't Kirk showing off much more bum than the girl?

>>11723831
>These aren't real spacesuits, right? I just saw the dude slip his glove off like a normal one. And the two-part design? What's going on here?

They’re pressurized suits like fighter pilots wear, not EVA suits.

>>11756527
yeah, Kirk is lewd

>>11723953
Looks cool to me

Being a really good test pilot is way more important than being in great shape
