This question is killing me. Why can't you film someone putting on a spacesuit? What makes it even stranger, she said it's an international regulation. It would be reasonable if some particular organisation wouldn't want to film it, to keep design secret. I wonder whether this law is real and is there any logic behind it or it's just a silly regulation.
SPACE LAWYER!!!
From PopSci: "in the eyes of the United States government, a space suit is classified as a weapon, so discussing the design of the suit to a foreign national is technically considered arms trafficking."
I think your lawyers may have been a bit aggressive. Recently spacesuits got reclassified away from ITAR and moved under EAR. I'm not offering legal advise and you'll want to coordinate with your lawyers, but have them check the latest regulations on spacesuits. As I understand it, Human Spaceflight Activities not subject to ITAR or EAR are, "Physiological training (e.g., human-rated centrifuge training or parabolic flights, pressure suit or spacesuit training/operation)"
But as always, have your export compliance team double check as I could be mistaken. They tend to err on the side of caution, so make sure they have really researched the topic else everything just turns in to 'no' which can lead to a far less compelling story. A lot of stuff recently got reclassified so things that were a no-no are now less restricted (although, still restricted so be careful).
Precisely TMRO, it's not like the Russians don't have access to the tech, we have to, by international law, share that with them.
It's like nuclear tech -- they are allowed to inspect our actual facilities.. so 'selling' them nuclear weapons designs is kind of stupid since we have to share both-ways.
SiemkaSiema This is so the design of the suits is kept secret. I've been to the NBL(Neutral Buoyancy laboratory) when I was younger and since I had family there I got to try on one of the gloves. They told us that we couldn't take pictures because they didn't want people, or countries, to save costs and make their own. So mainly it's just the inners of the suit that they didn't want to be filmed.
my gf wants space so i became an astronaut.
You lucky, my girlfriend doesnt want boyfriend, so i became single
goin' to space cuz she needs some space
Loren is so perfect for this. She has the background, the knowledge and the enthusiasm to really bring the subject to life, while keeping it fun. Great content, Verge team.
Loving the look of this series!
Thanks!
@@TheVerge Can you please make more women trying heavy gear like space suits,diving suits and hazmat suits videos ?
The verge is back to its high quality days.. long may it last, and excellent stuff Loren!
If I was wearing that thing, I'd definitely need some *space.*
PowahSlap Entertainmint gotem
PowahSlap Entertainmint dude you're everywhere
I saw you on the dog chocolate video like an hour ago...
*_lol_*
PowahSlap Entertainmint *haha*
You need to wear the thermal regulation undergarment with the cooling system, then the suit will not get hot and stifling and you will not feel as tired as fast. Also you could hook up a tether from the ceiling to compensate for the extra weight of the suit on Earth compared to target environment. That also greatly improves the experience. Hopefully the real Mars suits will have a separate body and head pressure compartments so that the ballooning effect is minimised and, instead of air pressure, use elastic band pressure in the body part..
Space is awesome, but being presented by someone truly passionate about it makes it even better!
love the series. Great work from Loren & her team!
Thank you so much for the great videos Loren. I'm definitely a new fan of yours!
Love how this show is going. Great one The Verge!
We're glad you're enjoying the series!
Me too and thanks for using my song "In Her Shadow" in this!
This is so rad! Looking forward to the next episode already 🙌🏻
Loving the new series! Great Job @TheVerge
That's something! Can't wait for rest of the series!
It suits you.
🥁 badum tss 🥁
Yes it does
Daughter of aerospace engineers working as space journalist? What can get any better?
Btw, why they can't show you getting in the suit because of international regulations?
Her marrying me
This is so amazing, I need to share with my students from The Mars Generation! Thank youuu!!
You are so much fun to watch and listen too. Keep up these fun videos.
Keep this going! Great so far..
this is going to be my favorite series
Really enjoyed your piece.
I watch her most of the time. Anyone else?
Loren Grush you have a great attitude and made the story a lot of fun. Nice job.
So cool you got to do this. I attended UND as an aviation business manager. Ive spent many hours in those buildings you were in.
Please, The Verge, never stop with these
Awesome series of videos
Love this segment. 👍🏼
I love Loren! Pretty, smart and funny! Anyway, thanks for these videos! I'm trying to understand what I want my career to be (I'm majoring in physics right now) and in no small part I chose physics thanks to CZcams videos like these for all the educational channels, so keep up inspiring young minds Verge!
That is too cool. What a great experience for her.
I love this series about space.
Working in a Spacesuit is challenging and describing the experience very difficult is understatement. It pushes our physical limits beyond. This video achieved that goal! Loren, I too have new respect for spaceman working in it and earthers who are making it possible. JARVIS in an IRON MAN suit is very very very very distant dream (centuries away).
Fabulous video, looking forward for more! For me, It's like waiting for next Game of Thrones episode every Sunday.
When would you release next video?
Awesome work
I thought Loren left Verge.
Now she's back😀
Bcz it's reflective😂She has got some humour.
it looks like that's what she really mean. she don't look that smart.
Great job!
That is so very awesome. She is one lucky person. I would love to wear those suits. I don't realy get why she wore them for such a short time only though. And why she didn't wear the cooling suit.
This is a great series. I love this info about space
Wow! That's great. You look great and lovely in this Mars space suit, Loren Grush..👌👌👍
great episode :-)
I would say I actually new more about space suits than what I thought all along with 4 years of studying inflatable costumes. It just like wearing a PVC inflatable suit but yet different by a little bit. With me in a space suit I would get the hang of it right away. By the way that was awesome that you got to wear different types of space suits.
My dream is to try one of these...You're one lucky woman Loren!
I go to UND and I always love to look at that suit when I walk by it in Clifford Hall
Wow nice video, informative and well made and the presenter has alot of charm 🙂👍🏻
1:36 Love the hi-tech worm gear hose clamp.
0:26 and I can see myself really enjoying this show :)
Here's to more The Verge Series!
Verge's got the best hosts.
The views on this video are far too low given how great this video is. Send this your friends
"Doing Sprints tired me out" Who would have thought...
walking around inside the suit looks badass
nice discovery zone reference! ran the new england dz's !!
I like this host. She does a great job. I've seen 3 types of space news hosts.
1.) The awkward know it all.
2.) The person who knows nothing and asks dumb questions like "how far is the moon".
3.) The smart person who dumbs everything down as if we are 4.
Loren here, doesn't act like she is super knowledgeable of the subject, but clearly she knows something and she seems to get along with the interviewd/documented well. Not to mention she has a personality, and doesn't just relay information.
I can see these having immense potential for "stillsuit" properties (Perspiration liquid gathering. Probably good for returning to camp for processing).
*I might be cool, but I will never be Loren in a Mars space suit cool!*
very informatic
How long did it take to put the suit on? From beginning till locking the helmet.
Does it take the same amount of time in orbit?
probably half the time. so if they spent 2 hours putting it on (Earth), then it will only take 1 hour putting it on in Mars. that's why it is preposterous.
lovely video...
The Mars space suit and the prototype both look good on her.
Intelligent,beautiful,can still look great in a spacesuit and a good presenter.Grush is my crush.That's a basic attempt at poetry.I'm not being an idiot;I'm actually saying that I look forward to watching Ms Grush and the Verge for years to come.I love you guys.-Mckenzie,16 Uk(England)
damn it's looks like space suits from 30's si-fi comics
0:28 - the right hand glove is on the left arm....
How about those colorful pressure suits of 2001? Or space 1999 moon base alpha orange suits??
Wow that suit look like antique
very cool.
Why they are pressurized? If the pressure when you put in on its around 15psi, and the space suit is hermetically sealed ?
Your voice is also great
So how do you attach the suit back on the outside of the rover? You can't simply back up to it, rehook and climb back out the way you got in. If you go back into the habitat via another door and unsuit, you still have to reattach the suit outside. That would mean someone needs to suit up. It's a never ending chain of resuiting to unsuit.
My home town Grand Forks :)
Was that a go pro camera?
Really exciting stuff. I still feel it didn't dig deep enough though.
Who thought about Uchuu Kyoudai when watching this? Damn a lot of similarities.
"i can really see myself in this .... get it? 'cause it's reflective!"
OH GOD
This is very...well could be better thought out lol...I mean the trip to Mars is going to be at least 4 months, after that they will need rehab for months just to get basic movements...so doing basic movements in the suit at full strength on Earth is very hard. Its going to be nearly impossible to do movements at all on the surface of Mars...
Really,I am ambitious to be an astronaut like you.
Please give NASA some of the U.S. Military's $600 Billion budget
Jealous, would love the chance to wear those
"get it? because it's reflective."
Well I didn't *want* to fall in love today...
Looks like a bioshock suit, invading planets is gonna be fun!
more....loren.....please
It's a good thing beings are already on mars to help put on the suits we need.
I love spacex suit
Wear a SpaceX prototype one, I think it would be less exhausting
Loren Grush Oh, but there are pictures of them online, are those real?
4 days later, Elon announced the reveal of the SpaceX spacesuits :) Only have to wait until next week.
These will be flight suits for the Dragon capsule, not EVA suits yet.
You could walk around with those on Mars though.
Check out Elon's Instagram, first photos of the spacesuits been released
Leonov nearly died on the world's first spacewalk because his hands did not reach the gloves of his inflated spacesuit, something that was not expected at the time
Lol this is where my UND tuition is going
how many of them suit have been tested through a vacuum?
I would never want to be a space worker, wear that damned thing for hours, days at a time. Id toast in it.
I don't think you become an astronaut in order to have an easy job... you become an astronaut because of a deep burning passion for reality, for science and wanting to see the world from an actual experiential perspective that nobody else ever gets to see.
deep passion for reality...
the only reality there is - when emergency arises (like it always does) it will take you an hour (maybe, if you're lucky) to put on the suit.
She: What happens if I fall over?
He: It hurts.
Daaammnnnn!
"ASHtronaut" LMAO
So lucky
Loren Grush is so cute looking already and looking little Loren Grush in a big heavy suit was even more cute!! Plus she brings a comic side to a serious topic!! Smart and beautiful, hmm, would love to take her out for a coffee!! :) :P
Nice boots
nice
What if you feel itchy and you have to scratch? Especially your face and head...
You'll have to suffer, the end.
In real spacesuits, there's a little pad of rough fabric you can rub your nose against.
what happens when they sneeze? or FART???

geez... this woman is stunning !! Id watch her videos all day ! also this video has alot of knowledge :) i enjoyed
6:42 me everyday
1:39 ...Let me take a Selfie
How many years old are you Loren?
you're gorgeous ✨
No tinted visor built into the Mars suit?
When scientists design your clothes
Skin-tight garment, head to toe, providing constant temperature and pressure with a neck seal ... Inside of helmet a pressurized atmosphere ... Overlay the body with a protective, airtight, thermal reflective skin with sensors for movement and pressure. Then put your body in a robotic/hydrolytic exoskeleton to assist in mobility and strength - hooked up to the sensor net. Life support backpack and battery on the back snaps you in. Why does the entire thing need to be so pressurized with air if you really only need to keep a constant range of pressure on the body to keep internal pressure regulated? Why is DARPA openly working with robotic exoskeletons and NASA isn't? And is anyone making suits with interchangeable parts so that if one suit is damaged it can have that sector replaced and not write off the whole suit?
Good questions. Answer: Because it's all BS. Search for videos of vacuum powered street-pipe lifting tools -- with a vacuum so powerful that they can lift 30,000 lbs -- 15 Tons. In short, the absolute vacuum of space would pull with the force of an explosion on every square inch of any 'spacesuit'. Does the suit pictured here look capable of that? There is no such technology in existence. Anywhere.
