In this NASA video segment an expert at MIT describes and models a biosuit, a futuristic spacesuit designed for astronauts who will one day travel to Mars. The biosuit will be very different from the spacesuits currently used for space travel. It is designed to be form-fitting and lightweight, enabling astronauts to kneel, climb, and maneuver more efficiently. This design can also benefit people on Earth.

  • I love that spacesuit, very fetching. NASA should pay attention to Newman's concept and give it financial backing so that they can phase out the old fashioned gas-bladder EMUs.
