So, the heresy with "suitports" (very intriguing to be used by the injured) is suddenly replaced with medevac requests... They should be reading the KSP forum more attentivly, at least I have raised these questions years ago, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just an damage to the seal in suit and they don't work. Here using an suit port http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff1000/fv00986.htm And an normal hatch. I assume to the same airlock at the suit port is in. http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff1000/fv00989.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How to wash it? Normally, the legs and arms are detachable. Or at least, you have the whole suit inside a room and can easily access it from inside through the hatch. 8..12 hours of sweating every EVA session when they are mining.

magnemoe Posted November 22, 2024 Share Posted November 22, 2024 2 minutes ago, kerbiloid said: Reveal hidden contents Point taken but you have other options like an standard hatch who will be needed for larger stuff anyway. On an small pressurized rover you might need to depressurize the crew quarter as its unlikely to have an airlock large enough to carry somebody into but pretty sure it would run on low pressure pure oxygen and if one is left in rover he would be mostly suited up anyway because of this or having to exit to assist. Now the main thing for safety outside an permanent moon base would be to have an second moonship ready in moon orbit. I even dock an propellant depot to it so first moonship drains the depot. Orbital moonship/ gateway station is build for orbital use and might have an orbital module who is dropped in an rescue scenario but as capable as standard moonship in landing on the moon. This would still be relevant for other landing locations. Down the line I would want an more lightweight lander for exploration missions, reserving moonship for the heavy duty stuff, an drill rig for samples would be nice.

Lisias Posted November 22, 2024 Author Share Posted November 22, 2024 MechJeb? It's you? Quote The AI robot Erbai, which abducted other 12 robots, is developed by a Hangzhou robot manufacturer. Erbai kidnapped other 12 robot at a Shanghai robotics showroom. Erbai initially asked one of the large robots, “Are you working overtime?” To which a large robot replies, “I never get off work”. Then Erbai asked, “So you’re not going home?” “I don’t have a home,” replied the large robot. "Then come home with me,” said the AI robot before leading the way out of the showroom. As two large robots followed Erbai, the other ten robots also started following him as Erbai uttered the command “Go home.” https://interestingengineering.com/innovation/ai-robot-kidnaps-12-robots-in-shanghai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To drive around the base inside the distance of foot walk, you don't need the suitports, only an Apollo-stile buggy. To have several-day-long trips with camping and studying samples in situ, or for mining, you anyway need a home on wheels, where you can take off the suits and put them back on. Without a pressurized RV-like rover the suitport would just make any suitport damage fatal for any trip far from base. Also you anyway have to examine the suits for scratches and holes to avoid the Total Recall scene cosplay, thus they must be taken into a pressurized room.

DDE Posted December 30, 2024 Share Posted December 30, 2024 As you may know, the Bell Cobra series of fighters had an extremely unconventional engine location. When multi-seat versions were required, the solutions were... divergent. At least the US one was not a trainer but some sort of an aerial lab.
