The new nasa space suits

[Bill Phil]

I like the way China is starting to tingle that american pride.

With a bit of luck the US will revive that feeling they had with the USSR and a new space race will start, that's what space exploration needs the most, people getting interested on it and pushing their goverments to revive it.

We managed to get to the Moon in a decade since the first probe got above the atmosphere, imagine what we could do with nowadays technology if we went for it.

You mean Sputnik? That was 57. It took us over a decade to get to the Moon. Unless you count that 47 flight of a V-2 that had science equipment...

We did, however, manage to go the Moon within a decade of getting serious about it.

The new suits are pretty cool. Green is my favorite color.

Doing some slight google search about space suit and stuff, I found this gold:

"The Apollo space suit manufacturing operation...was literally spun out of a company making rubber underwear"

The Moon Machines episode on the suits is fascinating.
