edit: heres the video explaining the human aquarium trick: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DfJwQqi4gs8

iirc he has netflix specials about how he pulls this kind of stuff off. A lot of it is just practice. Just rigorous practice. Though trickery and illusion is part of it. But he explains how he did the frog vomiting trick. He just learned to close the valve (sphincter) above his stomach at will. So he can store liquid and small animals above his stomach in his throat.

If the government funds scientific research why isn't that science published openly and freely? Why is so much scientific articles hidden behind paywalls that make it impossible to research something without an institution supporting you? How can we change the system for the better?

What do you think the next big leap for spacesuits will be? I heard that MIT was working on some sort of new less bulky design. SpaceX is also working on spacesuits.

When we finally do get to Mars, what sort of design challenges do we have to solve in order to make exploration of the red planet possible? Decontamination seems like a big one. As I understand it Mars has toxic peroxides in the soil which apparently mess with the human body.

Thanks for your time.
