The second skin biosuit being designed is alot more interesting. Do a search for mars biosuit.

We do not know yet if the so called biosuit will work. The concept was pioneered by Dr. Webb in the '60s and called Mechanical Counterpressure Suit. So far there isn't any working suit, only mock-ups. No astronaut was able to be in space (or altitude chamber) using any of those suits. Right now, the only system we have to go to space is a pressurized space suit.

If textile technologies allows it, it might be possible in a future to do something like that, but so far is only a concept.

This is a little off-topic but...

The moon missions were faked. Google "The Naked Scientists".  In the "New Theories" section of the forum there's a thread entitled "Did we land on the moon?". On page 15 there's a partial summary of hoax evidence. It's the seventh post from the top.

After the Apollo hoax, we have to wonder about everything else too.

Do a YouTube search on "MarsFaker".

Please, what a joke. Only a nuts can believe the Moon landings were fake.

All these theories are made by people who have no clue about science nor anything else. The conspirationists are either plainly dumb to believe those theories, or too clever to profit themselves selling books and "mockumentaries" about the"faked" Moon landings NASA filmed in Area 51, just alongside the captured Aliens and Bigfoot. Please, give me a break and get real, just like the Apollo flights.

What type of materials they are using for these space suits? Very interesting

[Gauchito1]

actually 38% that of Earth is the right answer

[Hickeydog2365]

The gravity on Mars is something like 2/3's that of Earth.

[tuttt99]

about 38% that of earth

[Gauchito1]

Read below about the materials. Thks for your interest.

mars my life

[humanedomain]

what is the gravity on Mars?

and it WOULD be interesting to know what the suits are made of / Great video! Thx for sharing
