View fullsize

NASA has released a great video that takes you behind the scenes of the development of the spacesuit that are being engineered for the future. I’m a big NASA geek and it’s really cool to see them in action developing this stuff for our astronauts. 

NASA takes you on the journey engineers go through to make a spacesuit. What challenges must be overcome to build a spacesuit capable of withstanding the heat, cold and the extreme environment of space? Learn about the accomplishments achieved by humans working in space, and discover two new prototype spacesuits, the PXS and the Z-2, as NASA continues to build on a 50 year legacy of spacesuits and prepares the next generation of explorers for the Journey to Mars.
