“It’s not great, but it’s not terrible either,” said the entrepreneur.
According to Musk, the International Space Station and the Crew Dragon-4 spacecraft are equipped with micrometeor shields that absorb ultra-fast impacts. At the same time, EVA spacesuits do not have them, and therefore it increases the risk of an astronaut’s spacewalk in the event of a collision with debris.
