The real reason for the need to develop new space suits is to protect astronauts from radiation. Not smoke or toxic chemicals or whatever BS they are peddling here. The fact is, every astronaut who has been to space has been bathed in radiation, and aside from accidents, every astronaut who has died has died from cancer as a result of old spacesuits' failure to protect from intense exposure.

The project to develop a new suit was cancelled by Obama in the last year or so.

a big logo on it!

Just needs day glo colours!

Now that Obama has left office, at least they can leave out the prayer rug.
