NASA Z-2 Prototype spacesuit
« on: 02 May 2014, 09:08:53 AM »
May be of some inspiration:

(The BBC report has two photos, including one which shows the hunchback effect more clearly.  The NASA site has only one of those two photos, but clickable to a much larger size).

Edit: The Huffington Post has a diagram showing detail of the previous Z-1 prototype, which still seems relevant:

I saw this some time ago and thought had they got a miniature sculptor to design it it'd be a better looking suit.  :(

I like it.okay it isn't sci fi fashionable, but it has that nice near future look that wouldn't seem too out of place in something like avatar or halo.
never trust a horse, they make a commitment to shoes that no animal should make.
