NASA’s Next Space Suit & a Look Back at U.S. Space Suits | Decoded Stuff

NASA’s Next Space Suit & a Look Back at U.S. Space Suits | Decoded Stuff

I took my Mom to every Southeast NASA site on vacations as a boy and have a jacket with every Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, Skylab, and Soyuz patch on it. I think Mom was most impressed that the space food ice cream was not cold and how you handled going to the bathroom in a space suit. I was always impressed by how fragile Mercury capsules appeared and how tight the room was for those fellows. Space, the final frontier, was never more true than then.
