    Interesting facts from the video:

    • 100% oxygen only in the suits, not in the capsule
    • suit pressure above 5 PSI. The suits have to be pretty good to keep mobility with this pressure!

      Great interview, this tech demo is going to neat to hear the results.

      I was really curious how they fit an airlock in the capsule, but then they started talking about the whole thing being depressurized.

      Then using the EVA suit as the IVA suit?

      They’re really going all in on this, hope nothing goes wrong, cause there’s not a lot of room for error. Even with all the redundancy.

      Would be outstanding if they are really able to service Hubble after they get the tech worked out.
