[quote:Anonymous Coward 564424:MV84NDE0MTBfMTMwNjE4NTRfN0FGRDgyMDQ=] [quote:Anonymous Coward 724960] That is circulated into a layer of the suit, then back out into the ice container where the coldness of space refreezes it. But what about on the moon in the daytime? The temperature on the moon's surface is over 100 degrees celsius. That's hot enough to make water boil at 1 atmosphere pressure. How is the water refreezing on the surface of the moon in daytime? [/quote] Yes, the SURFACE was that hot. No atmosphere though, so that heat could only affect whatever was DIRECTLY touching the surface...during the daytime. Since only radiation remains as a method to transfer heat energy in a vacuum, just a properly colored coating would keep heat from the interior of objects...including the backpack. Why do you think practically everything that goes into space and contains a human is colored white? It's not just cause it looks cool. [/quote]

Let's see here we go again...
You've got a space suit, and it's got to keep you cool up there. HOW? Your fridge vents out into the atmosphere, so where does the space suit vent to, the vaccum?
Remember, it's 1969. How advanced was your refrigeration unit back then? What kind of refigeration units were in the space suits?
EXPLAIN HOW THEY WORK, take your best shot, and see if it matches up with the basics of physics.
Oh, and find me the patent on the space suits the used to go to the moon.
Thanks and have fun.
