Conference with my uncle- Change of plans

Just today I had a conference call with my uncle Jorge who is an engineer for NASA. We did a share screen on Skype so he could see my progress on my space suit. He helped me a lot and I really appreciate all the advice he's given me.

A change of plans has happened, I will not be able to finish the space suit in its entirety. Since solid works is such a difficult program to master. I'm having trouble with just making the helmet. This is why, even for a solid works professional, making a complete space suit would take around half a year. Since I have school, tests and a lot of studying to do I have even less time. I'm also a novice to solid works so trying to make a complete spacesuit is currently out of my reach. This is why I will be able to only finish the helmet. I will also try to make an engineering sketch of what I wanted the suit to look like.

Number 10


What we innovations we need to go into Deep Space

I will be sharing some interesting information I found out about the new technology which would be needed to go into deep space. This information I find useful since their are some ideas which I was thinking about integrating into my suit. I will be numbering them from 10 to 1, not in any specific order they're just listed that way.
