SpaceX CEO Elon Musk once again showed off the company’s astronaut flight suit, but this time offering a the full view beside one of the company’s spacecrafts.

Now that a full view of the suit is available, it further proves earlier feedback that the design indeed differs from what astronauts wear today. It has a very minimalist look, being more like something a biker would wear—except that it can help a person survive in the vacuum of space for a few minutes while looking stylish. JB
