Subject: Introducing NASA'S Future Spacesuit, the Z-1

NASA is designing the prototype Z-1 spacesuit for a range of possible missions after 2015. The Z-1 offers enhanced mobility for space walks on the moon and Mars.

A major innovation in the Z-1 is its rear-entry hatch. Instead of being worn like clothing, the Z-1 is entered as if it were a spacecraft, through its back hatch.
Here's the full article... Pretty interesting.

Here's what the suit will look like.

So now the government is making teletubbies!

Technically, the cake can NOT be a like. It was seen, in its' true form, to be so deliciously moist. Therefore, you not attending the party was a grave mistake, and you are now shamed in the world. How do you sleep at night?

Okay...the concept isn't that bad.

BUT IT LOOKS LIKE IT WAS DESIGNED BY A 6 YEAR OLD

A cornered fox is more dangerous than a jackal.

And from FOX, two phantoms were born.

Also, cool. It's about time we come up with a new experimental space suit.

Honestly wasn't sure if it was troll just because it looked way too much like Buzz Lightyear.

  • 12.25.2012 12:39 AM PDT

I honestly can't tell if this is fake..It kind of looks bad.

  • 12.25.2012 12:52 AM PDT

Sometimes, I dream about cheese.

Why not something more like this?

I thought the same thing. They should change the colour scheme.

Couldn't it look a little more intimidating? That jus looks plain silly. It should look more like Felix Baumgartener's suit from Red Bull Stratos.

There is a certain point of tolerance that should never be reached.

Yay Toy Story.

This world wants to drag you down... And the weight, that guilt they want to hang around your neck, you don’t have to carry it one more step. You think they won’t let you rest, but it’s not up to them. It never was.
