Elon Musk Shares First Full-Body Photo of SpaceX Spacesuit

[Megalith]

Musk has shared (via Instagram) a second photo of SpaceX’s new spacesuit design, which reveals the outfit’s full-body look: the glove and boots can be seen for the first time, along with the pants, which feature flex zones in the knee area for mobility when bending. The suit is meant to protect astronauts while they’re in the Crew Dragon capsule (also pictured) and when moving over to other vehicles (like the ISS) under pressurized conditions, rather than being exposed to vacuum.

So just internal safety type suit and not for EVA stuffs is what it looks like.

it won't since it wasn't designed for that. Should be called a flight suit and not a space suit.

So does this have an integrated "toilet"? Or even some zero g crotch flaps to open like a barn door?

Oh, and will it save you from the TERRIBLE SECRET OF SPACE?

Fuck memes.

The Wellingtons will do well collecting the juice boiling out of one's pores and orifices if pressurization fails.
