out of the space program Janet Kuypers 06/01/10 NASA’s spacesuits have evolved over the years I mean, back in the ‘60s     even going to the moon their suits were actually paper thin and by the ‘80s there was more elasticity in joints but spacesuits were heavier, thicker     you know, toughen the edges     to protect he people now they make them with thinner, but stronger skins with built-in, potential injection points you know, in case an astronaut needs adrenalin for energy or morphine for pain now, since we’re an outsourcing nation NASA looked to other companies to help create these space suits who can utilities their technology who says we don’t get anything out of the space program well, the military offered to help out NASA and now this ingenious space suit technology is being used in battle I know NASA is a government agency but it’s just fascinating to see how outer space exploration is now linked to the military what the Hell, I guess I should know better I mean, the military wanted to explode nuclear bombs on the dark side of the moon I’m sure it’s good to give emergency injections for pain to our soldiers in battle so who says we don’t get anything out of the space program Copyright © 2010 Janet Kuypers.
