So its SpaceX fault cuz they didnt make their suits compatable with a nonfunctional family of space equipment.
This is hilareous
After all, Ripley went back tto sleep in just her undies. With a cat. At the end of aliens.
You’d think that a hour landing procedure could be accomplished.
Lets see...take your chances on a orbiting piece of space junk for reentry...or hitch a ride in your undies on a proven spacecract in the rumble seat....I know what I’d opt for.
what is the role of the four on SpaceX? Are all needed for just a rescue pickup?
NASA’s SpaceX Crew-9 Changes Ahead of September Launch

The needed suits will ride up on the 2-person Crew Dragon mission.
“when NASA developed the commercial crew program, it... didn’t specify that space suits for each commercial spacecraft need to be cross-compatible with one another.”
Most of my info about the different gauges I took from things my oldest son who worked for Conrail for several years, but my Dad worked on the NY Central Railroad his whole life. That's where my son got his love for trains. He knows things about trains, both here and Europe that most people don't, because he's studied them and ridden on many of them over the years. Today he's on his way to Berlin for 8 days. One of his friends who lives in Hamburg is a long-time engineer for the Deutsche Bahn.
the connectors for life support are different for each suit and spacecraft
Well I appreciate you sharing that history. Grew up next to the railroad and have always had an interest and connection. :)
Must have been noisy. My Dad came home every day in his work clothes smelling like diesel fuel, but as kids, we did have the benefit as a family to ride for free on the train. I remember those days fondly.
“Must have been noisy.”
Oh yes. And we lived right next to a crossing where they had to honk by law. But incredibly, your mind learns to ignore it.
Fabricating adapters is something that should have been done since it was known they could be different.
Like traveling and taking the AC plugs for every country you might or might not visit. Preparation for worst case seems prudent when going into space.
Not exactly kingdom lost for want of a nail, but lives lost for choosing the wrong outfits?
Kudos to you and your family!!
But that doesn’t mean it didn’t do permanent damage. Look at me... :)
and at least be handy
If the women find you handsome AND handy you've got it all sewn up.
And keep your stick on the ice.
that is why there is a spacex suit already on the iss, and a second one is coming up on the next cew dragon in a few weeks
