Spacesuits

Well, this is certainly a change in pace.  But I'm bored with the news.  Nothing out there that is worth blogging about.

Interesting to note that certain spacesuit research ended with Apollo.  Imagine all these years, using late sixties technology in space.  This was supposed to be state of the art, people.

There were successful tests of an elastic leotard, believe it or not.  Quite a difference from the bulky contraptions they wear now.

Looks like they had some research going in 2007 right here.  My question is: did all of this stop when Constellation was canceled?  Can't get away from politics, it seems.
