What if we would combine the HULC-exoskeleton and space suit

This writing is pure fiction. I took the idea for it from the movie "Predator", and this solution would be pure science fiction. The space suit is very suitable for deep-sea scuba diving, and also the use of this equipment in high-level radioactive areas feels a good idea, but there is one problem with that suit. The weight of the space suit is enormous, and the weight of this system causes, that it is useless in this kind of missions. But with one special equipment, this thing can revolutionize the handling of nuclear disaster and diving technologies. This equipment is HULC-style exoskeleton, what allows the capacity to use the space suit in the surface of Earth. The exoskeleton would give extremely big power to the person, who uses that machine. The space suit is suitable also in deep-sea missions because the suit is very hard. Actually, the space suit is a man-shaped spacecraft.


And in theory, the team, what uses this equipment can be dropped from the spacecraft to operational area, and the space suit is hard enough to resist the pressure of the deepest sea. Those persons can carry the heat shield, what looked like shields, what the knights used, and they can return to the atmosphere. Then the parachutes would be open, and those persons could start their operation in the deep sea or in the radioactive area. Those systems are very expensive, but they can be allowed to operate in the areas, what is too hostile for normal rescue or operative team.


The space suits can allow getting the things from the sunken ships, what are very deep.  The connecting that very heavy thing with HULC-system, could the operator also work in the places like the nuclear disaster. The space suit can allow that the man can handle the uranium fuel without risk of getting radiation illness, but this would make very bad visions in my sight. Space suits are equipped with the thing, what is called the "micrometeorite protection". That means that this suit could be used as the armor suit, what would resist all kind of threats. The suit can be equipped with RTG-generator and lasers. The laser would be in the back of the operator, and the laser rays can be transferred to the arms by using light cables. And the RTG would give enough power to that system. The exoskeleton would give enough force, that one person could carry this kind of equipment.


When we are thinking, that the space suit would be used as some kind of "predator" mission, that thing can also be equipped with the nuclear detonator. The nuclear detonator could be modified RTG-generator, where would be connected with another bite of plutonium. Power of that device would be extremely low, what means about 0,5-2 kilotons. The military might be interested in this kind of devices because they would cover the identity of the operator if this person would be injured. The space suit allows avoiding the DNA markings of the operator, and it will be very hard, and maybe in some laboratories are tested, how suitable this thing would be in some kind of missions. But the high price of that system would limit its use to the space missions. This thing could be very good equipment in some science fiction book, and in the real life, the space suit can be too expensive in the everyday use.

Chinese innovations and space lasers are interesting combinations.

Above: "Tiangong is China's operational space station located in low Earth orbit. (Image credit: Alejomiranda via Getty Images)" (Scpace.com, China's space station, Tiangong: A complete guide) Chinese are close to making nuclear-powered spacecraft.  Almost every day, we can read about Chinese technical advances. So are, the Chinese more innovative than Western people? Or is there some kind of difference in culture and morale between Western and Chinese societies? The Chinese superiority in hypersonic technology is one of the things that tells something about the Chinese way of making things.  In China, the mission means. And the only thing that means is mission. That means that things like budgets and safety orders are far different from Western standards. If some project serves the Chinese communist party and PLA (People's Liberation Army) that guarantees unlimited resources for those projects. Chinese authorities must not care about the public opinion.  If we th

Iron Dome is one of the most effective air defense systems.

The Iron Dome is a missile defense system whose missiles operate with highly sophisticated and effective artificial intelligence. The power of this missile defense base is in selective fire. The system calculates the incoming missile's trajectory. And it shoots only missiles that will hit the inhabited area. The system saves missiles and focuses defense on areas that mean something. The system shares the incoming missiles in, maybe two groups. Another is harmless and another is harmful.  Things like killer drones are also problematic because their trajectories are harder to calculate than ballistic missiles. The thing that makes drones dangerous is that they can make masks for ballistic missiles. And even if those drones are slow, all of them must be shot down.  The thing is that the cooperation between drone swarms and ballistic missiles is the next danger in conflict areas. In the film, you can see how drones make light images of the skies. The killer drones can also carry LED li

The innovative shield that protects OSIRIS-APEX can also protect the new hypersonic aircraft.

"NASA’s OSIRIS-APEX spacecraft successfully completed its closest solar pass, protected by innovative engineering solutions and showing improvements in onboard instruments. Credit: NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center/CI Lab" (ScitechDaily, Innovative Engineering Shields NASA’s OSIRIS-APEX During Close Encounter With the Sun) The OSIRIS-APEX probe travels close to the sun. The mission plan is to research the sun. And especially find things that can warn about solar storms. Solar storms are things that can danger satellites at the Earth orbiter. And the purpose of OSIRIS-APEX is to find the method of how to predict those solar storms. Another thing is that the OSIRIS-APEX tests the systems and materials that protect this probe against heat and plasma impacts.  The same technology. The researchers created for OSIRIS-APEX can used in the materials and structures. That protects satellites against nuclear explosions. That means this kind of system delivers information on how to prot
