You did not discuss the vacuum of space on the outside of the space suit while discussing the 1/3 atmosphere on the inside . How will it not blow up instantly when going into the vacuum (of space). Talking about going out of the earth atmosphere and into the space vacuum without a barrier, where is the barrier between them ? That is some things I would like to have explained by this boss of space experts.
She’s so amazing, thank you for the interview, Lex!
I feel inspired 🙂
Thankfully we have SpaceX cause NASA is blah
Thanks for inspiring a gap filler in our exoskeleton flex polymer design. Strange how inspiration strikes like lightning from anywhere & moves the entirety of a path forward.
What do you think are some human behaviors and practices that we do on Earth that we will likely not do on Mars?
holy f this is incredible content!
I can't like this enough. Thanks Lex.
she's fucking brilliant
Someone raped my grandmother. I don’t know who it was, but she had recently gotten an “LF” tattoo.
17.mins,that pic is fake,its smaller than the moon from earth,the earth should be huge,from the moon..more nasa b/s..
This was realllly awesome! Space and exploration, and Dava seems a really lively, intelligent and enthusiastic explorer!
Magnificent person! She spills her energy and positivity… such a pleasure! Thanks Alex, as usual.
Nothing more beautiful than an intelligent, articulate, adventurous, attractive women.
Thank u Alex, great interview!!
BS
I love her optimism and passion!
She's got such a cute smile and personality. This is the sort of driven person you want running space programmes.
I love her energy and insight into some of these human element challenges in space.
I love how she didn't really answer the HAL question 😛
We live in exciting times.
