More believable 'hard' sci-fi content, please: a rather lengthy request.

New spacesuit from SpaceX, really works, inspiration:

Cool! I wonder how it works: you'd think that in a vacuum, the wearer would be pretty much immobilized unless the suit has some kind of pressure-compensating arrangement at the major joints.

Otherwise I'd expect it to be about as rigid as a fire hose.

Looks to me like either an "inside the cabin only" suit, or something to be worn over a skintight suit to protect it from normal wear and tear.

It's not designed for space walks apparently.

<nod> An inside suit, then. The Apollo suits were like that, IIRC — there was a robust oversuit to be used with a long umbilical for EVA work, and the actual pressure suit under it, used on its own with a short umbilical (too short to let you leave the cabin). It's one of the reasons the full suits were so bulky and awkward. Think of the old M3 suit with a "stout" morph turned up to eleven.

Whatever the real-world technical details are, I'd love to have that helmet & yoke as a wearable item in DS (pant pant).

I always wanted a space suit styled like the "Clavious mooon base suits" in the classic " 2001 a space oddessy"

 

So I made myself one for the G2 male

 

Do you sell this suit anywhere?  Cuz its AWESOME!

I am really into a meshing of Toon Style of Space with a futuristic Semi Realistic Style!!
