Seems most people disagree with this project. I, on the other hand, think excellent looking spacesuits is great for PR. It's not like they are going to be much cheaper designed by Old Navy or GAP
The original Lunar space suits worn by our Apollo astronauts were made by Playtex. Yes, the same Playtex that makes womans bras.
The designer of the SpaceX in-vehicel space suits was the same Hollywood designer that made Iron Man and Black Panther costumes.
I don't think anyone was upset by that. I'm not quite sure why folks are upset by these new spacesuits.
