While on the surface of the moon, why isn’t the Apollo 11 spacesuit inflated like a balloon from the 3.7 psi internal pressure?

You should have seen the state-of-the-art in flight simulators we had in 1977 for training astronauts. Hint: it was a tiny camera on a crane “flying” over a model of the Earth.

Given the technology of the time, it actually was easier to film on location at the moon than to get realism in some kind of studio or “CGI” which wasn’t even invented yet.

What gets me is that the moon hoaxers do not think that NASA was smart enough to think to put stars in the pictures, that they weren’t smart enough to know about the Van Allen belts, they weren’t smart enough to keep a flag from waving “in the breeze”, they weren’t smart enough to notice that there were non-parallel shadows on the moon, not smart enough to know they did not reach “escape velocity,” and on and on.

My grandmother deeded me her house before she passed last year. Her son still lives there refusing to move. What steps should I take to have him removed?

But NASA was supposedly so smart that they invented CGI a good 25 years before Lucas Film could get anything to work, and by today’s standards, Lucas Film wasn’t very good.

Because it was designed and tested not to do so. It is not a balloon. Just like my car tires are not balloons. Carl, you keep using grade school thinking. I am sorry for you. No answer seems to help you.

You know, the Russians had a problem with Alexi Leonov’s suit and the Americans had a problem with Gene Cernan’s space walk. Everybody learned from that. The first thing they learned was that with pure oxygen, you didn’t need 15 psi. That’s why they used 3.7 psi.

Why did my 2001 4.6 liter Mustang GT V8 make "only" 260 HP while today's base Dodge 3.6 liter V6 churns out almost 300 HP? Both benefit from fuel injection and ECUs.

And yet they were supposedly able to create CGI graphics using computers that could not even generate a single high quality image because such an image would be larger than the memory of a large super computer at that time. And yet, NASA found a way around that. Have you seen the best images NASA was able to get of the moon in those days?

By your argument, the tires on your car should balloon out like this:

Can CCTV cameras be integrated with other sensor technologies for enhanced security solutions? If so, how?
