> I have no view on the technical merits of the suits or the program. I am just an online space nerd, but, for one thing the SpaceX suits don't have the insulation required for the wearer to be in direct sunlight. It appears that they still have a ways to go before being as useful as the standard NASA EVA suit. I think the look will change dramatically once they are at a point where it has the same usability as the NASA EVA suit. It will have to be thicker for one thing, won't it?
