SpaceX will attempt the first commercial spacewalk! 

Issacman appears to be the right person to be doing the development of a commercial/civilian astronaut corps. From the interviews, he looks to be taking small careful steps, not risky leaps.

Exactly the sort of inspirational things we need right now. Thanks EllieinSpace

Seeing this EVA suit and being told its real life is absolutely unreal. Comparing the Spacex suit to the ones NASA uses is like comparing a winter coat to a t shirt. The fact that this works, its this much lighter/thinner and has such a simple design (from an outside glance) is just mind blowing. Honestly I wont believe this is real until I see Spacex actually do the EVA mission. It feels like im watching a Sci-Fi movie

@EllieInSpace SpaceX suit design/build is all in-house! The sole remaining contractor for NASA suit is Axiom, but they have nothing to do with the SpaceX suit. ☹

At about 4:20 you said that the new SpaceX EVA suits were designed by Axiom for SpaceX. This is not true. SpaceX designs and manufactures it's own suits both IVA and the new EVA suits

Missions like Polaris Dawn are key to keeping space technology fresh and moving forward. Appreciate your continued coverage on this Ellie and I hope you get a press pass from SpaceX for the launch.

The suit was not designed by Axiom

The update on the Starliner was good info. Looking forward to the Dawn mission.

Ellie you are brilliant as always! Well done!!!

NASA isn't confusing - they are evasive!

3:30 For context the ISS is 254 miles high. So they are going x3 times and change at 800 miles high.

I always wondered (coincidentally today on July 4th) what the inspiration for Brent Spiner's role in the movie Independence Day came from ... cue Dr. McDowell.

Please keep this content coming! Excellent!!! Cheers from Alaska

Interesting, I really hope all goes well. Definitely a step that needs to be taken at some point.

Thanks Ellie fantastic video

The problems are with the control thrusters, while you can make adjustments for one or even two being down, with 75% failure and the last leak equal to a thruster this means they have no idea if they can control the craft for deorbit or reentry. Without control you can't aim the heat shield to shield the craft or make sure your even going the right way. With uncontrolled thrust from a leak possible it may be impossible to even hit a useable reentry window. I would not board any craft with known control issues, might as well take a car on the interstate at speed without a steering wheel and with firecrackers inside the tires filled with oxygen then try to drive from LA to NYC. This is not going to end well.

I enjoy watching SpaceX because they are getting it done.

Great coverage with a well-informed interview (as usual). Thanks!

In my opinion, the problem with how NASA & Boeing are faltering and being somewhat evasive, in their descriptiona and explanations about Starliner problem, is that the press interviews are not being done by technical and development managers, who may not special in a rechnical field. They're accountanta and business administrators, who want to downplay the problems as indeterminate, but are being evaluated. (In other words, they don't want engineers and technicians telling the media too much.) It feels like Challenger debacle all over again: 'Bean counters' trying to order rocket engineers what to do.

I clicked this for Polaris, but was pleasantly surprised to see my favourite astrophysicist Jonathon Mcdowell!

Thanks Ellie. 😊

Great stuff Ellie. No nonsense.

great news Grrrl keep up the good work.

All eyes will be on Isaacman. We are with you bro.

If that Starliner capsule was SpaceX, there would be an insane amount of Elon bashing

Another great podcast!

I think we need SpaceX and Jared to take Ellie up, so it can really BE Ellieinspace

Maybe they can stop by the ISS and rescue the folks stranded by Boeng? 😏

have a good day 😮

Iceman is doing a space walk nice 👌🏾

(to master a solar system as identity has become a talent to explore )

Didn't spaceman already space walk.? Or riding a Tesla roadster in space doesn't count ???

I'm excited but nervous for the crew/ mission. Really need it to be successful and return the crew home safe.

Danger, Will Robinson!

Can't wait to see Rook do this. 🎉

4 suits exposed to the vacuum of space all at the same time sounds quite risky. What if one of the suits springs a leak or has some other kind of issue?

They gonna make space babies...f'nar!

I don't know why they have so few dragon capsules they should make at least five more. They have proven themselves as good vehicles that will be useful even after the ISS retires

Will be watching Polaris Dawn, hope you get that Diet Coke sponsorship :P

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻✌🏻

I think they need more handrails on the spacecraft, or at least handheld maneuvering jets similar to what Ed White used on Gemini IV. Otherwise, they will have to tug on their umbilical lines to translate around.

Can they dock at the ISS and pick up two passengers who need a ride home?

Sem palavras conhecimento e vida

Great Video ! Ellie, when are you going to report from a SpaceX Crew Dragon Capsule ? Has NASA connected the Boeing Blue Flight Space Suit in the SpaceX Crew Dragon Capsule ? When is NASA going to have a Crew Capsule raise the orbit of the HST (so NASA does not need to be in a rush to repair the HST) ? tjl

I have a question, Don't they use starlink for there internet on ISS?

The biggest problem for me would be taking a deuce in that tiny craft with nothing more than a curtain

I suspect Axio will be doing both the EVA and Artemis suits now hat Collins has dropped out. I wonder if there is any cross compatibility with the SpaceX suits allowing adaptation. I still have no idea as to why I have been blocked by Ellie on twitter, I can only assume I said something that was misinterpreted.

Ellie These people are so cool 😎. -Cliff Battleship Marine Supply P.S.- Happy 4th of July 🇺🇸 2024.

They had problems with the rocket and computers on the way up, they now have problems with the part that will get jettisoned on the way down, this being said, is the return capsule also having issues, that no one has told us about or heard about?

At 12:31, it's pronounced "saint louise obisko". 🙂 Don't forget to visit Pismo Beach for their world famous clam chowder, and Morro Rock, each about 10 miles away!

May Elon live long and prosper 🖖

You guys are much more optimistic about Boeing than I am. I have a bad feeling that those two astronauts are not going to make it home 😞

Is the SpaceX spacewalk considered a demo for the space suit NASA is looking for? I realize it would not be capable of use on the lunar surface but if all goes well it seems to me it could replce the dinosaur suits currently in use. Im just curious. Thank you and be safe. 😊

Why are they gonna charge the astronaut money to go outside of the safety of their space capsule? You'd think that would be part of an all inclusive oligarch bragging rights thing. If it's a SpaceX employee, that is one way to keep costs down, charge your employees for stuff. My dad told me rich ppl are rich not because of the money they make, but by how much money they don't spend. I get it now.

The Boeing guinea pigs are having a mutiny

Can someone link me the video of them testing the suit in a vacuum. Thank you.

If SpaceX has to rescue the Starliner crew.....how would they do that.....did they get custom suits made prior to their launching on Starliner.....did SpaceX refit a CrewDragon to accept the Starliner suits..... if neither of these things have been done, the Starliner crew will come home on Starliner.... hopefully alive and well.

_"SpaceX will attempt the first commercial spacewalk!"_ The key word being "attempt".

If I were the crew and SpaceX I would consider fitting a suit for a monkey and sending it out to float around for an hour first. Perhaps try several suit versions and several moneys in an iterative and test to destruction design method as used by other SpaceX systems like Startship.

Will it be Tim to walk in space? Or will it be the Tesla bot?

They don't want to VOO DOO THEMSELES ,by not getting help .

Second all civilian mission? What about Axiom missions?

I will be at the X takeover 👍

And this is just the First mission, Astronauts best kiss there kids goodbye when they go up on Starliner cos they will be Teenagers by the time they get back.

bring them home on dragon and send starliner home autonomously

With BENJAMIN Franklin on board we can't go wrong…

800km not miles I believe.

NASA , When all else fails try telling the truth.

That's not a big deal. I've driven my tesla farther than 800 miles with my starlink. Couple times it was sketchy not all super charges have starbucks.

Canoo Is a new electric car company out of Oklahoma you might want to do an episode on them. They have pretty neat looking cars.

Is it true that SpaceX is holding the Dragon ready to return the two Stalledliner at the ISS if required?

The Spacewalk on the Polaris mission will be similar to the Gemini space walks. It will require a tether. It will require that the spacecraft be depressurized. It will DEPEND on the ability to get a good reseal on the hatch after the EVA, or else the crew will have to remain in their space suits until landing. At the altitude that the crew will be, there will be increased radiation. It will be interesting to see if the EVA astronaut has similar problems as the Gemini space walkers with overheating. ISS spacesuits use water cooling to deal with the extra heat from exertion of fighting with a fully pressurized suit while trying to do actual work outside the spacecraft. The SpaceX suits are more like the Gemini models in that they use air flow to take away heat. This may be inadequate. I was dismayed at the ignorance of all the Elon Fanboys who claimed that the SpaceX suits are "so much more advanced" than the previous models developed over the last 60 years. It just goes to show that since the current generation does not learn history when it it is put in front of them, and they certainly don't READ anything any more, we are in a new Dark Age when we will have to learn things all over again that people learned in previous generations. We definitely need a cultural shift for people to have a little more respect for experts in scientific fields. The "democratization" of information has made everyone think any idiot is a "genius" or an "expert."

6:50 NASA has already killed 3 crews for a total of 17 astronauts so what one more?

( . Y . )

When will they start resorting to cannibalism on the ISS...??? They should start a 24x7 livestream from inside, it might be fun to watch.

Use soyuz in emergency ? It's been good enough till now.

I think NASA’s statement is perfect. No, it isn’t trustworthy to return to Earth, but in an emergency, where staying on the station would kill you, Starliner is a much better choice.

Comparing the suits is ridiculous! The NASA ISS suits are completely self contained! The oxygen, cooling, electronics etc are part of the EVA suit. The SpaceX suit is not that at all. The astronauts will be tethered to the Crew Dragon the entire time. The SpaceX suit is more like updated Gemini program tethered suits from the 1960s. Note well, all the publicity images and renderings don’t show the tether or minimize it in a way to keep it nearly hidden. Ignoring that or pretending the suits are similar in function is disingenuous. Talk about bad reporting to the general public.

Its all very Bad!SpaceX is doomed!

Not a good look... Billionaires flying around in space, while the population can't afford food and rent. I appreciate what Elon is doing, especially with regard to Starlink, but damn, not a great look here.

thank you ,pentru susținere,fiecare cum își așterne așa doarme nici o legătură cu mine nici nu-i cunosc .dont wory.
