Keith’s note: There are thousands – millions of people like this guy. If NASA can expand its efforts to attract and encourage this sort of enthusiasm – at all age levels – then there is no limit to where NASA – America – can go in space.

  1. I think Jeff Bezos is working on this with his Club of the Future. Yes, there is a lot of talent out there that could be organized.

  3. Interesting to see the hands-on activity, you can see this is a real effort. When I see projects that show pristine development areas, I tend to think of those as make-believe like a Hollywood set.

    Great response to “is this a suicide mission” which Cameron feels is a ridiculous question as this is a very expensive way to kill yourself, and eight years to do so.

  4. I’m highly impressed with his project (and the work of the semi-amateur spacesuit give guys). But, I can’t get one of the Knights in Monty Python and the Holy Grail out of my mind, the guy with the flip-visor…

    1. Hi just to clarify, we have five operational suits at present and none are partial pressure suits. These are all gas pressure suits operable to 3.5psig with 100% oxygen. cheers Cameron

  6. I applaud his efforts, but building your life support system out of non-space rated components is a suicide attempt.

    Keep going sir and get rid of the household and commercial grade plumbing!
