I mean, you've got all these sensations coming together.
You're cold.
I mean, we were really cold.
You're using two-thirds of your oxygen supply is being used to cool you.
And I think SpaceX erred on that.
really cold because a lot of the old air-cooled suits from the 60s, all those astronauts overheated and they were sweating in their eyes.
They could barely get back in the Gemini capsule.
Well, we were plenty chill.
You know, you got all these pressure, you know, changes and sensations because we were operating at 5.2 PSI.
You've got exertion because you're working against a suit at 5.2 PSI.
You're hearing the airflow and then you're getting the visual stimulus and it's all coming together at once and it's pretty wild.
So I was on the top of the spaceship.
So they built this mobility aid.
They called it the Skywalker.
And it's basically they removed the docking mechanism from the dragon and replaced it with this.
It's just a metal structure to hold on to.
You need mobility aids because if you're not holding on to it, you're screwed.
And yeah, we were just going through a series of tests with the suit to figure out its mobility and dexterity because it's not easy to move into it when you're pressurized.
The whole operation from when we vented the entire vehicle, the vacuum, to repress was about two hours and change, but I was outside for about eight minutes.
Yeah.
