For the curious.

The boots have two layers. This boot is the inner layer.

This is how conspiracy theories ought to work. Perfectly fine to raise a question, and dismissed when you get the answer. Absent is the rampant speculation and unfounded claims.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago

I mean, I think that's just called science

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

It's because they find evidence to support their truth, instead of formulating a theory based in the evidence. I've heard it described with the circle analogy.

Imagine the absolute truth is a circle, but we don't know what the shape is. By doing research, we find out certain facts as points on that circle. We can then draw straight lines between those points, and draw a shape that's as close to the absolute truth as we can get, with the data we have. Further research and discoveries place more dots, sometimes falling outside of the lines we've drawn. So we redraw the shape more and more, always increasing towards that circle. That's how science works.

Conspiracy theorist do the opposite. They draw a random shape (that's nowhere near a circle, like a star), and then go out to find proof that fits on that shape. Some proof is correct - it just happens to fall on the same lines as the circle. Others are completely out there, aligning with their shape, but not with the circle (because it's not relevant to the truth). And if they do find proof that fits on the circle, but not on their star, it's ignored.

I like debates but most conspiracy debates are absolutely insufferable because of this. No matter how many points get completely debunked, they move on to the next one, and even worse, continue spreading the debunked points afterwards. They don't give a shit about science or the truth.

That's quite interesting thanks for that mate

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

Neat, always wondered what the reason for this was

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

what a good suit

[–] [email protected] -4 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Why does they had their names on the clothes? Were they kindergarteners?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago (2 children)

It's a ~$700,000 space suit custom tailored for a single astronaut on a single mission. Why wouldn't it have the astronaut's name stitched into it?

Also, have you never seen a NASA/Air Force/Military uniform in general? They all wear their names somewhere.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Also, so you can quickly put on the correct suit, quickly, in pretty disorienting conditions.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

That would be disorienting.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

It's a 700k suit to make in today's money.

That doesn't include R&D, and very notably doesn't include things the life support backpack or helmet either. If you add those, you come to something like nearly 2 million in 1967 money, or nearly 19 million in modern money.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

$700k was calculated assuming T&D and 2024 dollars, so you're doubling down on math I already did.

The total budget for the suits in 1967 dollars was $100K/suit.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Best I could find were a 5 million and 100m dollar order for the 60ish suits plus 20m for what I'm guessing are 60 more PLSS units, though I'll admit there might be fewer of those. Inflation happens and you're on my number. But if you have a better source than someone said it on a forum once, I'll gladly accept it.

Regardless, it was crazy expensive, and shouldn't be swapped out with the other. The point stands

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

Custom tailored suits that have to fit you perfectly so you don’t die. And might have to put them on very fast in an emergency, in low or zero g, with potential limited light. Big, high contrast, labels are probably helpful.

Also, these things were tested and iterated on repeatedly. If something is on that suit, it’s often because it’s solving a problem that was identified in a past test.

The top isn't even the real inner boot. You'll note OP has a weird panel screwed into theirs. Here is an image with both sets:

Here is the bottom of the moon-boot:

But the big question is, did google provide good answers for the third tab?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

This is why you're unhappy. At least your cucumber is really clean.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

Lol I can't stop laughing about the fact so many people here missed this.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago

That's why the inner one is called space boot the outer one moon boot.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

Zoom in on the other tab I think the answer is in there

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

So many questions about that last tab...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Things like this are great as a litmus test for stupidity. Whoever made that meme failed the test hard.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Whoever created this meme has a great sense of humour most the "shitposts" here dont even remotely resemble a shitpost nor do they resemble any ounce of humour they're mostly just shitty political statements
