lol! Looks like NASA has hired a couple of limp-wristed losers from Project Runway.

All three look like a variation on a common theme.
Which one do the moslems like best?

If I were designing a space suit, I don’t believe I’d be seeking opinions from others that don’t know the first damn thing about space suits.
I personally don’t know anything much about space suits, and wouldn’t want to offer an opinion, because I know I don’t have any business doing so.

This is hateful!

How are you supposed to see that octopus-looking alien sneaking up behind you if you’re wearing a hood? Nope. Give me a fishbowl and a speargun.

All are ugly hunchback suits. Biomimicry looks like a sleeping back with issues, Technology looks like something out of Tron or Logan’s Run, and Trends in Society looks like something a smelly Subaru driver would wear. And are those purple hips with ‘tribal’ teardrop accents on the chest of the Subaru suit? Hideous!

sleeping back = sleeping BAG.
Oops. Preview is my friend.
To: BenLurkin
Biomimicry: The Biomimicry design draws from an environment with many parallels to the harshness of space: the worlds oceans. Mirroring the bioluminescent qualities of aquatic creatures found at incredible depths, and the scaly skin of fish and reptiles found across the globe, this design reflects the qualities that protect some of Earths toughest creatures.
Technology: Technology pays homage to spacesuit achievements of the past while incorporating subtle elements of the future. By using Luminex wire and light-emitting patches, this design puts a new spin on spacewalking standards such as ways to identify crew members.
Trends In Society: Trends in Society is based off of just that: being reflective of what every day clothes may look like in the not too distant future. This suit uses electroluminescent wire and a bright color scheme to mimic the appearance of sportswear and the emerging world of wearable technologies.
Hmm... Maybe I'm missing something here, but their descriptions all sound pretty much like the exact same suit?

Does it come with an AA gun to shoot at US Spaceships?
