What was the assessment of the glove and boot fastenings with the loss of full pressure in Astronaut Benkin's suit on arrival to ISS? Sounded roughly like a zipper problem? Something about looking for teeth showing white tips, both confirmed by Astronaut Hurley. Just curious.

Hear me out...

Someone should get an alien costume on over their space suit, then go on a spacewalk whilst people are sleeping and tap on the window, until they awake to what could only be a real E.T. Recording the whole interaction of course. 😂

I believe that, would be the thing that turns humanity back into a positive mind set in 2020! 👌

I wish these suites were available for sale online on Amaozn

Do you wear a space suit only once and then throw them away?

The very nervous looking guy at the far right is the same one who badly slipped up a couple of years ago and gave away his real location, saying "...here in California...". Poor guy, looks like he has yet to get over that "accidental truth". My friend, the truth will set you free -- and in ways that you cannot even imagine now. Sure, your life might get cut a little shorter, but you will go out with a sense of great fulfillment. Why not out as a self-respecting man of courage instead of the self-despising worm of cowardice that you are now. Your choice.
