Quoting: --Voltaic-- 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. 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 Did you even watch the video with Parmitano drowning during the EVA??? No, not that one. Any reasons they give are in one ear, out the other. I don't trust NASA for nothing. |

I don't blame them for being paranoid about the helmet leak issue, that is some scary shit, dude could have died. Quoting: Lucky Charms 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. The space agency is getting pretty lax bout things. When obstacles due to maintenance issues are not addressed, catastrophe is around the corner. Imagine evacuating the ISS without a space suit? |

Because they've had to delay the Antares resupply launch until after this is done, and if the other coolant loop should experience a problem and shut down, then it's time to evacuate the station. Not a good day. The problem is manageable right now, but it leaves them with no redundancy in case of another coolant problem. It's a rather complicated job to fix it too, requiring multiple spacewalks, so this isn't something you can just do on a whim if further problems start to develop. In the best traditions of NASA fashion, they have come up with a simple but innovative series of work-arounds to keep Hopkins safe in case the water system in his suit leaks again. |
