Look up rebreathers. That should be closer.

Yes - rebreathers even underwater would extend that O2 time.

Also Boyle's law comes into play regarding atmospheric pressure which can be quite a lot for those cave divers using side mounts vs space with...no atmospheric pressure
 
The drive from Durango to Ouray …the “Million Dollar Highway “ is one of the coolest
drives in the world 👍
I used to live 25 miles north of Durango - about 200 yds off Highway 550 with a view of the Hermosas.
I will admit to taking it all for granted while I was there, but miss it terribly now.

just looked it up. that place is spectacular.
I live in the Arkansas River Valley between 2 National Forests. Beautiful place.
That said , from Pagosa Springs to Durango…Silverton…Ouray….Gunnison is Epic.
If Oklahoma wasn’t in the way , I’d go every year before Winter or Spring. 👍
 
I'm not normally bothered by spiders (and I know that's not actually a true spider) or other creepy-crawleys, but that thing puts a shiver up and down my spine.

It's a horrible looking thing.
Yeah, they’re creepy as shit. I’ve seen a few crawling around some stuff at work and they got a brake cleaner shower

The San Juan's are absolutely beautiful and spend time up there every year.

id be surprised if a painting doesnt exist of exactly this, gorgeous landscape!
Near Crested Butte CO.

Colorado Fall colors is by far my favorite thing to shoot at. Both subject and camping experience.

It is beautiful. Back when, our carpool drove it every workday as far as Silverton, from Durango then up Cement Creek to the Sunnyside. Dug holes for gold for 8 hrs then drove back. One day they told us that if the weather is good tomorrow don't come to work, the state was going to do avalanche control. Weather was nice, stayed home, back the next day. They shot but nothing came down. We watched really close for a couple days. There were 86 slide paths between my house and the mine.

Still really beautiful.

Edit: For a nice drive this is a good trip. Take your time, pull over now and then and enjoy it.

Thank you,
MrSmith

LOL. Flat earther bullshit.
Boyles Law. Multiple ATMs, as opposed to a vacuum (1 ATM in the suit). Every 33'= 1ATM. @33' (2 ATM) your air lasts half as long as at the surface. @ 66' your air lasts 1/3 as long as at the surface and at 99' 1/4, and so on. Also a space suit isn't equipped with "air" tanks, but most likely a pure O2 rebreather system scrubbing the CO2, so you could get a ton more time in a lighter, smaller package.

That's actually a technical diving rig (probably a bottom mix on his back too). The two hanging tanks are typically travel mixes or a deco mix to decrease the time of his in water decompression, but it's depth dependent, so it's really irrelevant.

Pictures from a fly fishing trip this past summer taken at the confluence of Bear Creek and the Rio Grande just east of Stony Pass. Rode the Iron Horse Bicycle Classic from Durango to Silverton ten times. During the ride you are generally suffering too much going uphill and focused on the road during descents to enjoy the scenery.
 
Is that a Brown Recluse? Cuz that’s a good way to know your doctor.

Camel Spider. I caught him In Iraq back in 2005. He's dead in that shot. Had to run after the quick bastard to catch him and step on him. Still didn't kill him till I stuffed him in a Gatorade bottle full of rubbing alcohol. Mailed him home in a CD jewel case. Here he is still alive and kicking in my hooch... Yeah... they get bigger.

"Astronauts Cernan and Schmitt performed the longest single lunar surface excursion at 7 hours, 37 minutes, 22 seconds. They also logged the longest total excursion time on the Moon at 22 hours, 5 minutes, 4 seconds."

So 22 hours total, with time in the LEM there Nah'mi, not all out on the surface.

too much science and not enough laughter when we get old, but i do see everyones point re what was meant to be a but of humour ;)
