					<description><![CDATA[Jeff Wright,

You mean it looks like all of the legacy suits from the now-antique era of space endeavor you are still so enamored of.  I don&#039;t think there is any law of nature requiring people in spacesuits to look like the Michelin Man or the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[It looks like a real suit-instead of a motorcyclist&#039;s riding leathers.

The old Soviet design was a bit like long johns with a flap.

That design inspired the idea of suit-ports, where astronauts could back into airlock socket.

Lunar and Martian dirt stays outside.

Now I might have something clamshell over it so as to limit photo degradation...damage from rocks churned about by landing/ascent thrusters.]]></description>

Jerry Greenwood: NASA canceled its spacesuit project after spending more than a billion dollars and 14 years and producing nothing. See this post from 2021:

NASA then issued contracts to private companies to do it. Axiom&#039;s progress here is an example of private enterprise getting it done.]]></description>
