"I'm sorry, I can't hear you, son! I'm wearing a jacuzzi suit."

I would say, a space suit (Being a suit to protect a human agianst space), is clothing like, equipment, such the same as a suit of armour or CRBN suit. Where an EVA suit (Being a vehicle allowing mobilty in low/no gravity areas), is a vehicle like, mech suit, such the same as an exoskeleton.

Yes we generally only use EVA suits in space

Do the Apollo era EVA suits count as vehicles, or do you have to have an MMU like what Bruce McCandless wore?

I think Adam Savage has actually gone into this a bit on his YouTube channel, dude really likes space suits and have a lot of videos about them so I'm not even going to try to find which specific video it was

Showerthoughts

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
