"Cute" suits eh?  Shocked


...


I suppose I shouldn't laugh ... the way that the stage one rocket returns vertically to the awaiting "drone" ship is a pretty impressive piece of engineering.

Cool

They are not pressure suits so t-shirt and jeans would be the go. Thongs maybe with shorts. Helmets are for bouncing off the ceiling so gridiron helmet works.  At least it's not the medieval cloak and batman look of old movies.

Those suits.....

SpaceX must be pretty confident that the capsule cabin pressure will be 'unlikely' to ever fail !

It must be the same with space station. In a major air leak there's no time to get a pressure suit on. And small asteroids are frequent out there.

It always strikes me what a massive difference it makes travelling 200 km due UP vs 200 km along the Earth's surface.  Shocked
