Elon Musk and SpaceX's next Space Suits are nothing like NASA’s

SpaceX's Space Suits are INSANE!
While the pumpkin-colored iconic NASA suits are still going strong, and spacesuits have come a long way since late cosmonaut Alexei Leonov’s first spacewalk in 1965, the team at SpaceX has placed just as much emphasis on slick aesthetics as functional design with their newest spacesuit - an EVA suit designed for the agency’s Polaris Dawn mission. For anyone out of the loop, Polaris Dawn is SpaceX’s private human spaceflight mission which aims to conduct the first ever private spacewalk with the help of SpaceX’s Crew Dragon capsule. Impressive stuff. We’ll be delving into the meticulously designed unique features of SpaceX’s new suit, fit for a moonwalk or two, and a much-needed explanation of different types of spacesuits and their applications.
In today's video, we look at How insane SpaceX's Space Suits are.

The new NASA EVA spacesuit is rather bulky but have enough space for astronauts’super absorbent nappies. Will this EVA suit allow astronauts to wear nappies?

Metatarsal refers to toe bones, whereas metacarpal refers to fingers.
