NASA's Next-Gen Spacesuit Could Have an In-Helmet Display

How do we not have this already?

I think we DO already have this, just not in space helmets.

now all we need is advanced language parsing, and the ability for a central computer somewhere to gather any data the astronauts could possibly request. oh, and let's not forget that they'd have to address it as "computer" before each request. ^_^

this technology is so old. why hasn't nasa already used it? i hope the new design for the spacesuits is more protective and cooler looking.

What about a Space suit that works like a cell membrane. So a bubble, say an energy shield or something physical, that could eat things for the wearer to interact with. Then it could have it could stick to a wall and open up on it, like a suction cup, in order to do those repairs that require one to open a panel or something. This Concept of mine reminds me of the grabbing ball filled with coffee beans.

Of course, with the demise of our space program the only chance NASA will have of using the new headsup space helmet is at Halloween.

the space program is not ending, SHUTTLES are ending, because NASA is upgrading to something else.

Sorry, with the demise of our SHUTTLE program they can at least use these riding simulators at theme parks.

I dont get how science fans and geeks can get away saying and thinking things like this. People need to understand one thing: NON-manned missions have expanded our scientific understanding and exploration of the universe about 100000 times more than manned missions. Manned missed cover VERY little. A large part of putting men into space is just that. to put a man into space or on the moon, etc. Yes there are some things we can only learn by using a human, and some experiments are impossible without a human running them. but take a simple satellite like Hubble. Hubble has added a zillion terabytes of data to our understanding of the uni. That is 1 of 1000 experiments out there right now floating in space. They are launching a new telescope that will make hubble look like your iphone camera. And they already have the successor to THAT telescope planned.
Manned missions are looking grim at the moment, and yes that is a super bummer. But SCIENCE, NASA, SPACE EXPLORATION, and SCIENTIFIC LEARNING are at its PEAK right now. do a little more reading we are in the golden age of non manned missions in orbit around the earth and to other planets, commits, the sun, etc etc etc. What about the new mars rover. It could eat Spirit and Opportunity and crap them out and then use that crap for more fuel. its that BAD ###! not to mention a new manned capsule is almost complete that will be used to take man to the moon and mars. the shuttle was a death trap. and its a shame they waited so long to make a replacement... but they are making it! oh yeah. what about the new ground based telescope they will build soon with a combined surface area of 1 square km!!!!! only a few hundred times bigger than the VLA and 1000 times bigger than the LA.
