That suit really is amazing, and I love seeing Adam's giddiness when opening it. I wish I could match his passion for that kinda stuff, he really seems like he's living the dream

Those gloves are phenomenal, the detail put into the urethane casts and the hexagon design are fantastic.

I would wear that suit.

it looks so heavy, but from the materials they used it probably doesn't weigh more than a neoprene suit

beautiful though

This just struck me - why make a Mars suit orange when the planet itself is of the similar color range? Like, won't that make a lost astronaut harder to see, if all means of communication have failed for some reason? :v:

But literally

[QUOTE]Mars is more of a reddish-orange, 'but Ridley loved the orange' colour for the suit, Yates said. (An earlier grey-white suit design didn't look as good.) So the final product has a lot of flame-orange in it.[/QUOTE]
