Thanks for your scientific advice and professional opinion Dr.

I've seen the guy from MIT interviewed a couple times. He says that suit is way far off in the future, and their just developing the technologies that will lead to the suit in the future.

Also the main problem is not hot/cold, but pressure. We all need pressure on our bodies to keep our muscles working. Thats why in zero gravity, you have to exercize like crazy. I think the guys on the ISS do 6 hours of workout training a day.

In the current space suits, it is filled with air to simulate pressure on the body to keep everything working. With the new suits, air wouldn't be needed. The suit itself would put enough pressure on you to keep you warm and everything in your body working.

look for a lot of new technologies to come out in the next 20 years due to nanotechnology. Computers and the like are pretty much at their top speed using mechanical parts. Nanotechnology is the next step.

Ninty9...why did you choose the Army over a profession in science&space again? You constantly reply to these kinda threads, and seem to be really into it, more than the average buck-a-roo. Then again, Im only in 8th grade..so if you just ended up learning this stuff in high-school, nevermind me.

The army isn't my profession. I'm a reservist.

I would like to be an astronomer or physicist or something like that, but in order to become an astronomer, you basically need PhD's in Physics and Math, both of which I suck ass at. Basically, I don't think i'm smart enough to to University to get a degree in Physics.

Space is for suckers. All the cool cats keep their feet planted firmly on terra firma.

OMG Your both right and wrong
Pressure and Temperature are the biggest issues with EVAs. You would however freeze to death before dying of lack of external pressure, although both would kill you very quickly.

I never though sexy in space would ever be a real concept...i'm so excited...must go change the pants.
