The evolution of space suits

With today’s launch of Space Shuttle Endeavour we only have on more launch before NASA “embarks on something new.” What’s that new thing? I don’t know.

What I do know is that National Geographic has a pretty rad slideshow depicting depicting the evolution of space suits. It’s worth a look only to see how some astronauts went into space clad in outfits that look like glorified Capri Sun packaging.

Speaking of outer space and exploration, you can still take part in Sevnthsin’s BESPIN project.

Finally, Stefanie Gordon snapped this pretty cool picture of the launch from her plane.
