Don’t we need to have a space program first? Catching rides with the Russians is pretty sad.

Speaking of which, no one else seems to have noticed... NASA is hopelessly useless and incompetent. Without Russia, the US HAS NO SPACE PROGRAM!

Odumbo is "punishing" Russia for the Crimea thing?

Ha ha?

Not bad, but a little too much coverage, IMO.

What’s wrong with the current suits?

If I understand correctly, the current suits are specifically tailored for each astronaut. Especially the gloves. They also take a long time to get in and out of

If I understand correctly, these suits are intended for use outside of habitats (say on moon or mars) and are supposed to interchangeable and easier to get on and off. Hence the “manatee” look.

Not sure what they intend to do about the gloves.
