Not going with Tesla...
Their space suits for transfer up to the ISS seem to do well. Why not let them take a crack at the EVA suits. I know they are more complicated but I would bet they could design a great and reliable eva suit.
They could probably even contrive a maternity suit — for front-hole birthing persons going into orbit.
You can’t pocket a few million if you give it to Tesla.
“I know they are more complicated but I would bet they could design a great and reliable eva suit.”
Musk has terrible taste in 50s era fashion and design. Tintin, Indeed.
In another life time, perhaps. Right now Tesla and SpaceX are on the government s..t list. Great design and reliable is what we all want, but government wants expensive and design by committee; that approach ensures that various committees, agencies, lawyers, hoards of bureaucrats etc will have jobs when the suits malfunction: the worse the malfunction, the more jobs created.
Knowing how Musk is, he is probably way ahead in having his people design suits and it only makes sense because he is the only one that will get large numbers of people to the moon or mars.
