    This was excellent. I hadn't up to this point heard much information on the crew capsule. It is quite amazing how relatively comfortable the entire experience has been made by SpaceX. I didn't actually know that the suits could be pressurised, which is very impressive considering how sleek they look. I imagine that in a vacuum they would balloon up and probably make movement difficult? A small price to pay, mind you.

    • @davidelang
      @davidelang Před 8 měsíci +9

      No, the suits are stiff enough to not baloon up (that's why they are custom for each passanger)

    Overall a really great video - a few points though:
    1. When showing dracos and superdracos, the video shows superdracos being tested when talking about draco, also it shows a turbopump schematic. Draco and Superdraco are both pressure fed, no turbopump on board Dragon.
    2. When explaining the effects of vacuum, Blood inside the body doesn't actually boil. The human skin is sturdy enough to maintain sufficient internal pressure within the tissue to avoid boiling even at 37°C . The issues are instead:
    - the bends - excess gas in solution in the blood might form bubbles - causing strokes or other damage - similar to a diver rising too fast.
    - freezing - exposed mucous membranes in mouth, on the eyes and inside the lungs will encounter rapid evaporation of liquid, causing drop of temperature and possibly localized freeze burns. This is especially dangerous in the lungs.
    - sun burn - if skin is exposed to space directly, unfiltered sunlight will cause severe sun burn due to high UV content and heat where exposed
    - suffocation - no air means no oxygen, which causes loss of consciousness after as little as 10 seconds and death within 1-5 minutes
    its the very last that is typically deadly. Everything else is harmful but anyone rescued before they suffocated should have survivable injuries.
    3. The suit doesn't have to restore sea level pressure. Typically pressure at 10000ft is considered comfortable in airliners, twice as high is survivable, even more if pure oxygen is supplied instead of nitrox, which most emergency suits supply in case of pressure loss. When exposed to vacuum, most IVA suit system typically supply an environment more akin to a climber on the peak of Mt Everest with an oxygen bottle than air at sea level.
    4. The mission timeline could have mentioned stage seperation in a bit more detail. During 1st stage flight the g forces slowly increase as there's less and less propellant left. At the end the engines throttle down to prevent it from getting too high, but its pretty intense. Then they shut down at MECO, and you are suddenly weightless for the first time for a few seconds, feeling your stomach and everything else lift, before the 2nd stage ignites for the 2nd half of the ride. Stage sep is quite intense, and so is the 2nd stage flight on Falcon with the engine so close to the capsule, as reported by Astronauts.

      I agree. I like the dragon design, and Boeing clearly dropped the ball on Starliner. But by all account the astronauts actually liked the Boeing controls better. Going all the way back to Apollo, astronauts prefer having some level of manual control.
      Also it’s disingenuous to show the NASA EVA suit as comparison to the SpaceX IVA suit. Hint: the NASA IVA suit is orange, so should not be hard to find the right picture.

    • @barrybrevik9178
      @barrybrevik9178 Před 15 dny +1

      The people going to space in Dragon are not Apollo astronauts.
      These astronauts (excluding tourists) are perfectly capable of learning how to understand and operate Apollo era flight controls, but the point is that they don't *have* to. This means that Dragon astronauts do not have to undergo a lengthy portion of training that is focused only on flight controls, and the result is less time and a lower cost to bring astronauts to a level of mission readiness.
      Therefore, the Dragon astronaut "could never fully understand" Apollo era flight controls because they don't receive that training.
      The presenter did not specifically state that the *Apollo era astronauts* never fully understood the controls. The comment could have been better worded, but you seem to be looking for an excuse to be offended.

    Crew Dragon is a great space capsule, much more roomy than Apollo, though you'd never catch me in one, or in Blue Origin, lol. I cannot imagine being trained to go into outer space, or having to don a spacesuit. I have been weightless before but just briefly on an amusement park drop ride that is no longer in service, still it is a wonderful feeling, even if brief.

Dragon has these comfy, stylish seats that rotate and touch screens and plenty of cabin space. It is like comparing a Rolls Royce to a Pinto.

    The incredible speed of development by SpaceX completely outpaced the previous companies that were building toward space tourism using a ballistic trajectory. True, that kind of tourism is still much cheaper. However, orbital tourism is going to get ridiculously cheaper if they ever can design, build, and certify a man-rated Starship.
    As a 64 year old, I had hoped this stuff would have happened in the 80s, but after it didn't (again and again), I had resigned myself to never seeing humans on the moon again or on Mars. I now think it is possible that I may be in the amazing group of individuals that will witness the first steps on the Moon and again on Mars, and may see tourists in orbit or even on the moon.

      It's cheaper to refurbish a slightly thicker heat shield than the draco engines. They wanted to use them for land landings because refurbishing them is much cheaper than all the support ships and helicopters needed for recovery in the ocean as well as the sea water damage. The super dracos have plugs built into their nozzles to keep them protected from seawater if they are not used.

      Orbital mechanics are a harsh mistress, you don't want to just go firing engines and altering your carefully calculated trajectory, and then end up burning because you where too steep. Also, the propellant mass hardly matters for reentry.
      Finally, even if they fired them, they would still have to take this precautions, because that's what they are. The motors already have valves that close and aren't supposed to leak any fuel, but unburned residues could still be present. So, burn or no burn, they would still have to do this.

    So what happens to Dragon 2 if computers onboard have problems AND they lose contact with the ground? They are kind of screwed. No Buck Rogers manual control like in Mercury or Gemini. Gemini 8 would have been fatal with this system. Its emergency happened outside of the window of contact with the ground, and a thruster was stuck.

      Not very much detail in the video. I'm pretty sure they thought about that already. Plus that ignores triple-redundant systems with isolated processes, power supplies and support systems. They also probably have established procedures right on their iPads.

      Greetings from the U.S! For reference: one foot is equal to 12 inches, and 1 inch is equal to 2.54 Centimeters. Yes it is confusing. Yes we all use it.

      Pause the video and bring up a conversion calculator on a browser page (Google it lol). That’s what I used to do. Now I’ve gotten pretty good at “close enough” estimates on my head from doing it so often.

    I wonder what other things there are to pass the time in the capsule aside from checking out the Earth? If you are going to be in there for an extended period of time your bound to get bored like on an airplane. Maybe they can play Kerbal Space Program on those screens?

    Thank you for the Blue Origin comment. IMHO, you are not really going into space if you don't go into orbit. Blue Origin just gets you really high up and you float around in zero G for a few minutes while falling back down. Ditto for Virgin Galactic and their rocket glider.

    Ten years ago I thought that Boeing would have had the ability to build the superior twenty first century space capsule and not the new start up SpaceX. Boy was I wrong. The Boeing Starliner has turned out to be the inferior space capsule and as of today has yet to fly a manned crew. The SpaceX Dragon Capsule by all accounts exceeded everyone's expectations and is a space capsule worthy of the 21st Century. I hope that SpaceX is able to continue innovating not only in space but I'd love to see them expand into commercial aviation.
