The project is the brainchild of professor rob shepperd, who used to be a student at porne university. The material science and amedium team are working on an experiment that could lead to new materials for space travel. They're also trying to figure out why our current space suit has four point three p s i pressure - much lower than sea level. Are we susceptible to this boiling problem under such low pressures? Yes.
