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.
