Seems most people disagree with this project. I, on the other hand, think excellent looking spacesuits is great for PR. It’s not like they are going to be much cheaper designed by Old Navy or GAP

I don’t want to wish anyone terrifying death but I kind of wish some malfunctions will occur. 😅
Makes sense. The first thing I think about when I imagine space travel is how good everyone looks in their space suits.
Best space agency in the world should look good. Good for PR. Likely similar in cost to having someone else design it.

The original Lunar space suits worn by our Apollo astronauts were made by Playtex. Yes, the same Playtex that makes womans bras.
The designer of the SpaceX in-vehicel space suits was the same Hollywood designer that made Iron Man and Black Panther costumes.
I don’t think anyone was upset by that. I’m not quite sure why folks are upset by these new spacesuits.
Houston, requesting EVA for my instagram. These suits are lit.
