It’s going to be completely surreal to see high definition footage of people walking on The moon! Can’t wait!!

[Exurba]

Looking absolutely fantastic, can't wait to see them in action up there!

NASA names new spacesuit xEMU.
Australia has left the chat.

0:12 look at that dudes strut. That right there is a Martian alpha male

[trimmoos]

Looks like a lot of rotation in that suit, should be able to release the club head easily and hit that golf ball

0:11 The swagger with which he walks is impressive

[Drjfever]

The exploration suit helmet is straight out of Alien. Brilliant.

[EVILJAMARR]

Fire the graphics designer who put text bars right in the middle of the screen, or covering 33% of the images the video is trying to show. Irritating to watch.

"or xEMU for short"
*cries in Australian*

Anyone else feel like this is a 2219 fashion video send back in time?

[christopherg.]

Please, keep the Fortnite dance moves outta stuff like this. It's literally all we have left.

For some reason I was waiting for Adam Savage to jump into frame with a measuring tape in his hand :D

[epsospremium]

I want one for walks in the rain too.
Not that I need it, but would be awesome :-)

Let's hope the suits perform well and humanity will grow plants on mars with the help of such suits.

Now we're talking! First there's the gear. Then the test flights. Then we're off on our way back to the Moon! The red and blue is a nice touch to the traditional white I love it! Not to mention the spacewalk suit which is pretty lean looking to me which isn't bad at all.

I am very excited for this. I can see the landing and exploration with my own eyes!!!! Go NASA go!

[Seastallion]

I've been wondering what they were going to do for space suits recently. They seem to have kept this pretty quiet up till now, and I've looked for info about them recently on the internet. Glad that there is something.

[parikshit]

I feel that the people from after about 100 years are going chuckle in amusement looking at these videos. Just like we do at the old 70's computer adds. I can't believe how quickly mankind is making progress to being extra-terrestrial beings!

[lonespartanz]

This... does put a smile on my face...

[felipealvarez]

Just seeing her big smile inside that big suit makes my day!

[coreys]

I wonder how possible it would be to add some sort of EM system to change the polarity of the surface of the suits to repel dust. Doesn't have to be very strong. If the power requirement is too high for suits, I can envision a system like this near the doors of a habitat or lander instead.
