While on the surface of the moon, why isn’t the Apollo 11 spacesuit inflated like a balloon from the 3.7 psi internal pressure?

While on the surface of the moon, why isn’t the Apollo 11 spacesuit inflated like a balloon from the 3.7 psi internal pressure?

Given the technology of the time, it actually was easier to film on location at the moon than to get realism in some kind of studio or “CGI” which wasn’t even invented yet.

And yet they were supposedly able to create CGI graphics using computers that could not even generate a single high quality image because such an image would be larger than the memory of a large super computer at that time. And yet, NASA found a way around that. Have you seen the best images NASA was able to get of the moon in those days?

By your argument, the tires on your car should balloon out like this:

Hello, I have a question about astral projection. I started to get interested in this a little while after my mum passed in april. I thought I may be able to see her and speak with her if I managed to achieve astral projection. Since this interest, every time i sleep on my back I go into sleep paralysis. However, I cant progress into astral projection because it is very scary for me as I feel like I'm suffocating when this happens. I panic and force myself to wake up. This only ever happened about once a year before this. It sometimes lasts a long time. This has happened about 3 times per week since my mum died, as mentioned on a previous post. I no longer try to go into it anymore(due to the suffocating feeling), but it still happens. I read that sleep paralysis is the pathway to astral projection. Why has this started to happen so frequently since simply taking an interest in it? Is this connected to the afterlife? I am concerned about it as I now cannot seem to stop this happening. Could it be my mum trying to communicate? Im asking due to more knowledge around this in this group.

You should have seen the state-of-the-art in flight simulators we had in 1977 for training astronauts. Hint: it was a tiny camera on a crane “flying” over a model of the Earth.

But NASA was supposedly so smart that they invented CGI a good 25 years before Lucas Film could get anything to work, and by today’s standards, Lucas Film wasn’t very good.

What gets me is that the moon hoaxers do not think that NASA was smart enough to think to put stars in the pictures, that they weren’t smart enough to know about the Van Allen belts, they weren’t smart enough to keep a flag from waving “in the breeze”, they weren’t smart enough to notice that there were non-parallel shadows on the moon, not smart enough to know they did not reach “escape velocity,” and on and on.

You know, the Russians had a problem with Alexi Leonov’s suit and the Americans had a problem with Gene Cernan’s space walk. Everybody learned from that. The first thing they learned was that with pure oxygen, you didn’t need 15 psi. That’s why they used 3.7 psi.

Because it was designed and tested not to do so. It is not a balloon. Just like my car tires are not balloons. Carl, you keep using grade school thinking. I am sorry for you. No answer seems to help you.
