What it's like to wear Boeing's Space Suit

I’ve owned my horrendously smelly and well worn Russian High Altitude flight suit since 2013… Why did I buy it? I have no idea… after it almost killed me, I still continued to take it around the world with me to take whimsical photographs. And now, it’s basically the bane of my existence.
And although I have a love/hate relationship with this stupid thing, I do question how well it would work in the event of sudden spontaneous decompression… So, I think it’s time I check out a REAL space suit, try it on, and see if it’s worth hanging up the old orange suit for something.. A little more… blue…
Check out my article all about what it's like to train with the Boeing CST-100 Starliner and wear their incredible space suit! everydayastronaut.com/boeing-...

Agreed. They probably just wouldn't let him because of that. And considering how close he's come to dying because of his own suit, I'm sure Tim didn't want to risk it.

International law prohibits you from putting on a helmet of a spacesuit you're wearing? I'sure hope the astronauts don't break that law! Or perhaps international law doesn't apply in space?

@@mike5214 for these suits designed for inside a spaceship, I'd agree. Custom bespoke suits, but I wonder if they would leak like a seive in hard vacuum. They have the cool looking collars for sealing the gloves on, but just zippers for the rest?

@@scottwa looks like a simplified drysuit. I wonder what would happen if I buy an actual drysuit, stick a ViSi mobile health monitor, a small portable rebreather, a helmet that can work with a rebreather, slap some radio stuff in it as well, and then try to make the whole thing work in vacuum. Bam, I got Resource Integration Gear. Then, all that will be needed is stuff for micrometeorite protection, solar radiation protection, and some extra survival gear like SOS beacons and emergency oxygen, and we have an EVA suit that can be mass produced.

2:23 that handshake had me worried for a second. Then I remembered that it was normal back then.

[@bobthompson4319]

I think the fact that the suit he uses is a old heavily used one makes it more realistic for a everyday astronaut. It's more like what a normal person would have. Given that things space related are expensive so the old used one would be something that kids would imagine that there dad would own like the every day man.

The flexibility and apparent comfort of the suit is amazing. I do think the blue color is a mistake. The pumpkin suit was that color at least in part, to make the wearer easily visible in an emergency recovery situation.

3.5 psi is the partial pressure of oxygen at 10,000 ft elevation. The absolute pressure at 10,000 ft is around 10 psi. The spacesuit is normally 100% oxygen environment at lower pressure in order to reduce the pressure differential but still allow the astronaut to get all the oxygen they need to function.

[@gasdive]

Michael Onines I thought the same. I also thought this would make a great suit for Everest.

[@Markle2k]

That was the first thing I thought of when I heard the pressure differential rating.

[@gasdive]

And of course that means you need a prebreathe for an hour or so before being exposed to low pressure.

[@JohnWilliamNowak]

If anything, 3.5 PSI pure oxygen seems a little low; didn't they use closer to 4 PSI on Apollo? IIRC, the slightly elevated pressure was to prevent bleeding from the lungs, and not because we need to breathe that much oxygen. Is the difference because the Boeing suits would only be used for a short time? I guess they didn't let him try the suit under positive pressure; it would be interesting to see how awkward it is to move under those conditions.
