Aw, nuts. I knew that one. :( Do I get extra credit if I note that your second picture is from a publicity shot for Apollo 9?

I'm just interested in spacesuits generally, so recognizing the Apollo model was easy. I have a long-term project to make a "next generation" spacesuit as a Halloween costume; the idea is to make a suit for an asteroid miner in the near future. It's kind of part spacesuit, part rock-climbing gear, part field geology lab, with conveniences like quick-swapping O2 tanks using BNC connectors.

Sounds interesting. And the haloween stuff sounds fun too. [:)]

Have you seen my Belter (Asteroid mining) entry in my vid list?

Yeah, I saw it, though I wish I could get a closer look. :) And I appreciate your video about lunar spacesuits, too.
