Looks like toddler onesies
SpaceX spacesuits are 100x sexier and more practical. Can't wait for those to be released.
Looks real nice, but the dome-helmet-thing just hanging off the back of the neck when not in use looks sorta dorky.
"Gloves for modern touchscreens" Finally someone understands my need for shitposting while in deep space.
One step closer to getting off this rock
Bit misleading, as this is a strictly flight suit and not an EVA or Surface suit. Its effectively a limited update to the Shuttle era "Pumpkin suits" [IMG]http://funyarn.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/NASA-Pumpkin-Suit.jpg[/IMG] [QUOTE=Dom Pyroshark;51730828]"Gloves for modern touchscreens" Finally someone understands my need for shitposting while in deep space.[/QUOTE] Literally all they do to make it touchscreen compatible is at a little bit of conductive fabric or copper/steel thread to the fingers.

[QUOTE=Riller;51730806]Looks real nice, but the dome-helmet-thing just hanging off the back of the neck when not in use looks sorta dorky.[/QUOTE] If you think about it, there's not a lot of better places for that dome to go, especially if the astronaut needs to have his/her hands free.
Pretty cool how it can pressurize in an emergency.

It just reminds me of this stupid-ass hoodie my mom made me wear once when I was like, 8, that had fuckin' flight-goggles built into the hood. I still shiver at the thought of it...

with trump in administration we can finally ask nasa to develop a pistol that can fire in space
[QUOTE=sYnced;51731087]with trump in administration we can finally ask nasa to develop a pistol that can fire in space[/QUOTE] They already can.
[QUOTE=rndgenerator;51730796]Looks like toddler onesies[/QUOTE] That's pretty much how we rank in space.

[QUOTE=eirexe;51731406]we have never seen them though you could say that the one in the dragon in orbit video is the one they will use, but we don't know.[/QUOTE] I saw them when I was working and I'm super excited for the release. I think people will love them, and help spur the want for people to join the space industry.

Those are very early concepts, but close to. Think sleeker, more iron man.

[QUOTE=archangel125;51731632]Are these the ones? [img]https://goo.gl/NQTLLF[/img][/QUOTE] Those look like something a civilian would wear, wouldn't an astronaut wear something with more pouches and stuff?

Deanna Troi?

[QUOTE=archangel125;51731632]Are these the ones? [img]https://goo.gl/NQTLLF[/img][/QUOTE] Tell me about the reapers.
I like the NASA one too, but if the SpaceX one looks anything like those concept pictures when it's done, it looks like it'll be a lot less restrictive.
