  • Guy looks kinda like he’s wearing a jacket with a gap at the waist. That would totally not work. You can’t have a gap that lets air out. The Apollo suits were one piece designs; two piece with a hard shell locking waist ring came later.

    We’re talking nowadays about compression suits that are only inflated around the head and maybe some upper body. Those would help a lot with mobility, but nothing like that has been deployed yet.










  • In the United States, at least, it’s not illegal* for regular citizens to publish leaked documents of whatever status. It is illegal for security clearance holders to access information they’re not cleared for, regardless of where that info is. If an Internet forum allows classified leaks, that would make it difficult for security clearance holders to safely browse that forum.

    • There are statutes on the books that would punish this type of behavior, but they are usually considered to be unenforceable because of the first amendment to the Constitution. Julian Assange was a notable example of a non security clearance holder non-US citizen who was prosecuted under the Espionage Act. (Or at least an attempted prosecution that never quite cleared extradition…)

    802.11ax, clients just… (essentially) wait for a random amount of time, listen for a break in the signal, and take a leap of faith.

    Ethernet originally worked the same way, back when it competed directly against token ring. Ethernet won by being as reliable in real world scenarios while being cheaper to build out. Gigabit Ethernet was the first standard that insisted on full duplex only.

    Half duplex mode with the collision avoidance is still actively supported for 10/100, but it is becoming very hard to find an unswitched hub. So you may have to write up your own twisted pair cables.
