NASA is going to send astronauts to perform spacewalks with LEAKING malfunction inside their suits.

Why NASA is talking about "draining water from the EVA suits" over and over???

Why they are improvising snorkels inside the suits??

Good info people will miss with your title now that the press conference is over. I suggest a title change to give thread more legs.

In the article you supplied they said there will be no more space walks until the issue is resolved.

This tells me two things:

1. The issue has not been resolved with the water in the suit and they are improvising to make this space walk happen.

2. This pump issue is much worse than they are letting on and is critical it comes back online.


Should be an interesting weekend. Thanks for the tip about Luca as it puts more perspective on it.

Indeed. All for show. These guys are coming home folks. Keep on watching the Soap[ace] Opera.

Asteroids/Comets/Meteors are inbound. Even Karl Battams admits that there will be small shooting stars as a result of ISON. Since NASA didn't grind these dusts from ISON into very fine material themselves, I want to presume that the Astronauts in the ISS won't be left up there to face the potential risk of an impact from one of the "FINE DUSTS" from ISON that just happens not to have been ground properly.

Would NASA keep astronauts up there knowing that asteroids/meteors/comets etc. are inbound?

Also, if NASA had to bring the astronauts home under the guise of a fault on ISS or any other excuse they can dream up, that means that they aren't going to tell the world that something is coming from space.

So, how does NASA and the PTB save face and hide all the inbound asteroids/meteors/comets? Or more appropriately, what resembles asteroids/meteors/comets with trails? Did you say missiles and rockets?

Now you know why propaganda of a war with China, NK etc are on the rise!

Shit is going down up there.

When NASA beats a dead horse, they got somewhere they have to go, quickly.

There it is:

Oh dear. Signs someone is telling a lie. He touches his nose at 0:30 while talking about problems with the suit. This was the most direct question a caller asked about the fate of the mission, ISS and asteroids and this guy just had a nervous tick.

Check it out yourselves.

I don't blame them for being paranoid about the helmet leak issue, that is some scary shit, dude could have died.

Bringing a corpse back down from the ISS would be... pretty grim to say the least.

I was pretty cavalier about the pump leak when it happened, but they're under a bit of pressure now I suspect what with the suit issue on top of this.

I think this EVA expedition will be more tense than many of us thought.

They are not being paranoid. Actually THERE IS a problem with the draining system inside the astronauts suits, and Luca Parmitano literally drowned during a EVA and almost died.

IMO they shouldn't send other astronauts out in an EVA to fix the pump, without having fixed the suit leaking issue.

The Soyuz carrier rocket can now dock with the ISS in less than 24 hrs, why they didn't request new suits before going out for this EVA??

Yes, your right.

Now the ingenious part is to send a smoking hot blonde chick in front of the cameras, to explain their stupid plan.

I think they are facing larger issues. For whatever reasons, sending up more suits might not be possible.

The systems that allow coming/going crafts might not be operational. As they had to shut down lots of stuff.

This EVA is gonna be EPIC. NASA will send two astronauts out for a spacewalk, with improvised snorkels inside their helmets so that they don't drown and die.

Why they didn't request new suits in AUGUST right after Luca Parmitano drowned????

How many cargo spacecrafts docked with the ISS between this incident and the latest pump failure??

Hmmm, that tells me the problem is not the suits. Could be the environment is polluted with micro-dust particles traveling high speeds.

Could be the suits are getting swiss cheesed out there with no protection.

There seems to be a lot of meteors recently. Could reasonably imply there is a lot of dust up there too.


A theory
