re: A Human Factors view on Spacesuits
Thanks, Chris.
Conceiving a spacesuit is a vital part of the manned space program.
Spacewalks make flights more interesting but it might not be a good idea to be forced to do spacewalks in a systematic way to for instance build the station.
Mir didn't need it but there have been spacewalks from Mir and many were unplanned.
But nevertheless, spacewalks, while being dangerous, are always made in slow motions and never have claimed lives, contrary to liftoffs and landings.
I believe spacesuits have a large part in my fascination for space (like here, in 1964)
