NASA and Axiom Space Inc. provided a first, limited look at the new spacesuits that will be worn by the next astronauts to land on the Moon.

The Axiom Extravehicular Mobility Unit (AxEMU) spacesuit that will be worn for the Artemis missions was only partially revealed at an event at Johnson Space Center in Houston, in order not to give away any proprietary information about the suit

Well it looks like the spacemen and spacewomen have a place to crap in their spacesuits.

Now where are the non-binary people going to take a crap.

I thought space suits were white to reflect heat from sunlight. Is this no longer an issue?

Man back to the Moon.
Riiiight.
After half a century of confinement to LEO, we’re all good now?
What’s different?
Maybe the only thing that’s different, is they can convincingly fake it now.
Oh sure, there will be real hardware going to the Moon and landing, tracked by Russia and others.
But the manned part will be studio/CGI.
If the hardware crashes they’ll have to “kill” the crew, that should be interesting.
This prison runs on lies.
