And to perform experiments in one is insanely tough. Naturally we all asked if any human had EVER been inside one of the very few? No, no one had ever. Now I get the argument that "Flight suits" exist, and can be tested at less than hard vac. But a MOON suit would need to be a full on "Space Suit". Operate for extended times in a truly hard vac. WE always knew this was nearly impossible. Word was that no one had ever even tested one. So this admission by nasa so many years later is only the tip of an enormous iceberg of lies. Any torso shaped pressurized tube will have huge forces; and then you supposedly can bend over, or worse, rotate! Simple math: Pressure 4.3 psi (per nasa) Thin guy, 40 inch waist = 130 sq in Results in ~550 pounds trying to force your legs off your torso inside a simple "space suit". No matter what mechanism you dream up, you are not going to walk around like normal. |
