Sept 28. 2025Join us as we explore how space suits and diving suits act as self-contained systems, protecting humans in space and the deep sea! The extreme environments of outer space and the deep sea push the limits of human endurance, requiring protective suits that serve as life-supporting vessels, pressure shields, and mobile laboratories all in one. Join us this month for a closer look at ILC Dover’s groundbreaking “Astro Suit”: a next-generation prototype designed to function as a self-contained, individual spacecraft system that astronauts can wear both in the vacuum of space and during planetary exploration. We'll compare this futuristic technology with atmospheric diving suits that allow humans to walk the ocean floor, revealing what it takes to keep people alive, mobile, and capable in the most extreme environments on—and off—Earth.The event is produced by Kevin Michael Reed, hosted and co-produced by John “Das” Galloway, founder of the Kerbal Space Academy, and Elysia Segal of Intrepid Museum.
