NASA’s New Space Suits: The Future of Moon Missions 🚀

Did you know NASA hasn’t updated their space suit design in over 30 YEARS? It’s becoming a major problem, especially since we are set to go back to the moon in 2026. NASA’s current space suits are called EMU’s or extravehicular mobility units. The ones you see in videos from the ISS are not only old, but aren’t made to walk on the moon. So NASA gave a company called Axiom Space $228M to develop brand new moon suits.

The goal of these suits is to fix some of the problems of the past. Specifically: They need to fit a wider range of body types, be more flexible, be repairable in orbit, and cost less.

We just got to visit Axiom Space and I am one of the only civilians to try on this suit… if you want to see that, watch our longer episode!
