Elon Musk unveils SpaceX's new spacesuit

On Wednesday morning, Elon Musk posted a photo to Instagram of himself wearing one of the suits SpaceX plans to outfit astronauts with on a journey to the International Space Station.

elons suit looks the way the future suits SHOULD look like, Boeing's suits look like over inflated snow suits. Not being rude Boeing, just being honest

It's actually not him in the suit... He replied to someone asking if it was him in the suit on Instagram, he said "Person in the suit is an engineer at SpaceX"

"Honey, where is my spacesuit?"

[iamtrash]

they look like the peacekeepers from hunger games

One Elon Musk for men...One gigantic leap for mankind.😎

if it's not for being outside the craft then it's not a space suit.
just a flight suit.

SpaceX looks professional and mordern. Boeing looks like it's designed by kids.

Well looks like SpaceX won the battle... Never underestimate the Spacetrooper..

[jasplays]

SpaceX looks wayyyy more slick and nice and boeings looks much too big and clunky

[ramjet]

Misleading video. Begs the question, why is SpaceX avoiding showing pressurization of the suit? Sounds like this suit has a problem.

Im happy that the skeptic's who think that space and space travel is fake can go into space themselves in about 30 years or so.

Musk as usual being the PR guy is showing his suits unpressurised so they look cooler.

[elfiero]

It’s a flight suit NOT a space suit. Get over yourselves kids.

If you look into this, it's not an actual "space suit", only designed to be worn within pressurized environments. "According to Musk, the SpaceX suit is intended for intravehicular activity use only (IVA type) meant to be worn inside a pressurized spacecraft." You'd die very quicky if you left the capsule wearing this. This is similar to how "autopilot" isn't really. People need to stop trusting this guy blindly. So funny to watch morons go "omg NASA is so bulky" that's because they're rocking a legit space suit not some gimmick!

[chasegames]

So many jealous people hating on Musk.

[frosty]

this guy is from 2080 because this suits look so futuristic

[matkasim]

Elons got better fashion sense haha. Future actors would wear that suit.

[foreverpermaculture]

Can you show me a video of them testing this suit in a vacuum on earth live? Please, not in a swimming pool either. I want to see someone wear this suit, and stand in a vacuum while. It's being recorded live.

I’m going to predict the future!!! SPACE x will be the one to launch!
