immediately there are trade-offs the 107 00:02:30,989 --> 00:02:32,570 immediately there are trade-offs the pressure in the zps suit is 108 00:02:32,570 --> 00:02:32,580 pressure in the zps suit is 109 00:02:32,580 --> 00:02:34,550 pressure in the zps suit is approximately twice that in the shuttle 110 00:02:34,550 --> 00:02:34,560 approximately twice that in the shuttle 111 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:36,949 approximately twice that in the shuttle suit the increased pressure is harder to 112 00:02:36,949 --> 00:02:36,959 suit the increased pressure is harder to 113 00:02:36,959 --> 00:02:39,170 suit the increased pressure is harder to design for because the suit has to be 114 00:02:39,170 --> 00:02:39,180 design for because the suit has to be 115 00:02:39,180 --> 00:02:41,810 design for because the suit has to be sturdy joints need to be engineered so 116 00:02:41,810 --> 00:02:41,820 sturdy joints need to be engineered so 117 00:02:41,820 --> 00:02:43,460 sturdy joints need to be engineered so there is minimal resistance to movement 118 00:02:43,460 --> 00:02:43,470 there is minimal resistance to movement 119 00:02:43,470 --> 00:02:46,670 there is minimal resistance
