What to wear on Mars: A look at the technology behind spacesuits
New York CNN Business — Extraterrestrial travel is all the rage: Elon Musk’s SpaceX has pledged to put the first humans on Mars. Amy Ross, head of the Advanced Spacesuit and Technology Lab at NASA’s Johnson Space Center, is leading development of the next generation of NASA spacesuits. Robyn Beck/AFP/Getty Images Branson’s company teamed up with Under Armour to create snazzy flight suits designed to keep passengers comfortable while they vault toward the sky at nearly three times the speed of sound. SpaceX’s future passengers could perhaps use the spacesuits during interplanetary trips — but it’s probably not fit to sustain people outside a spacecraft facing the extreme temperatures and toxic environment on Mars. The BioSuit’s portable life support system is also squeezed into portable packaging, and the form-fitting design could allow far better mobility and comfort.
