Space suits are insanely coolheaded . Except this one . This prototype hamster ball case was designed by locomotive engineer at John Hopkins and in reality presented to NASA in 1964 . The engineers claim astronauts would be more roving with this thing on .
I ’m not kidding , this bubbleboy matter was real and it was holler the Spherical Experiment # 1 ( SX-1 ):
The large , vapourous sphere was plan to give spaceman the ultimate in mobility as they drift on the lunar aerofoil . The prototype even featured a mini air lock for send samples in and out of the celestial sphere .
More seriously though , NOVA has assemble a sweet gallery of old school spacesuit from Project Mercury , Gemini and Apollo and the spacesuit ancestors date back to 1918 . A wonderful facial expression at the story of space travel . [ NOVAviaNeatorama ]
