Sci-fi flicks’ depictions of astronauts usually involve them wearing a skin-tight suit, but the reality is modern day space explorers still wear a ‘bubble-like’ suit that provides just enough pressure for them to survive the vacuum of space.
MIT researchers, though, are seeking to inject some fashion sense into the decade old space suit with some new concept that will show off all the curves and edges that an astronaut possesses. The proposed suit is made of a lightweight and stretchy material that becomes pressurized when exposed to heat.
“With conventional spacesuits, you’re essentially in a balloon of gas that’s providing you with the necessary one-third of an atmosphere, to keep you alive in the vacuum of space,” said Dava Newman head of the suit’s design team and a professor of astronautics at MIT. “We want to achieve that same pressurization, but through mechanical counterpressure — applying the pressure directly to the skin, thus avoiding the gas pressure altogether.”
As fancy and promising as it sounds, the suit is still in its early stages of development. The only thing that’s been made so far is the fabric in its fast-tightening tourniquet form. Furthermore, the issue is the fabric becomes active with heat, which means astronauts will have to lug around some sort of battery, not to mention there needs to be a cooling mechanism so they don’t have to operate in an oven.
While there are still things for the researchers to work on, the benefits of having a suit that gives astronauts much more mobility will come into play when people are able to send explorers to places like Mars. Imagine if explorers had to trek the surface of Mars in a bubble suit, that wouldn’t be fashionable at all.

Thank you for writing this post! This is everything I’ve been feeling since my son was born six months ago. I used to be in dresses and heels all the time. Now I live in jumpers and jeans, which feels so alien. It’s like I just cant be bothered with dresses right now, and so little of my vintage repro wardrobe is breastfeeding friendly. Your post has made me feel a little less lazy and a little less alone.women’s dresses

I love maxi dresses and skirts. So comfy and perfect for hot summer days. I wear my sandals with them but I will never wear flip flops again. They are dangerous especially in the rain. I was wearing flip flops and carrying my 3 year old daughter (she was not heavy).
It was raining and I started sliding like crazy because the bottom of my flip flops were covered by the rain. To keep her safe, I knew I couldn’t fall. I pulled, twisted, and regained my balance. In the process, I ended up with pretty bad Whiplash. And my lower back was bothering me. Long story but one day, I felt something pop and I couldn’t sit down. Ended up needing a two level fusion. The Dr didn’t do a good job; I’ve been in horrible pain since then. Surgery was January 2009.

Thanks for the useful information. I study at the university and every day I see possible friends. All my friends dress in fashion and spend a lot of money on clothes. I need to write my college essay on fashion trends. I do not have time to follow fashion trends, so I read blogs about fashionable clothes.plus size boho dresses

Great advice. Layering is essential when you live in the mountains. We also try to make sure all of our clothes will go with several different pieces, that way the clothing can be worn more times without seeming the same. teedoris
