SpaceX Releases First Look at Official Spacesuit

SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has finally unveiled the company’s official custom space suit that will be used in future crew missions, according to TechCrunch, and it’s both sleek and svelte. It isn’t just a mock-up, either; Musk noted that the suit works, and was tested to double vacuum pressure. “Incredibly hard to balance esthetics and function,” Musk wrote in an Instagram post. “Easy to do either separately.”

What do you think of the new suit? Take a look below.

First picture of SpaceX spacesuit. More in days to follow. Worth noting that this actually works (not a mockup). Already tested to double vacuum pressure. Was incredibly hard to balance esthetics and function. Easy to do either separately.
