Astronauts may soon look as sleek and cool as they do in sci-fi movies.
NASA unveiled the winning design for the outer shell of its new Z-2 spacesuit today. The space agency invited people to choose from three different versions of the suit, which uses light-emitting patches and luminescent wires — a first for NASA spacesuits. This makes it easy to incorporate different designs on the suit itself, and could prove helpful in identifying each individual astronaut while in the field.
