Picture is mirrored? Flag is reversed.
Now they just need to produce those in PowerRangers-like colors and the new space race is won.

This gives the effect of the flag "flying in the breeze" as the wearer moves forward. US military uniforms often have the flag on the right shoulder in the same orientation.
Quote from: TaurusLittrow on 08/23/2017 01:46 pmPresumably, the SpaceX suit as shown is unpressurized. It may be less "form fitting" when pressurized. Aesthetically, the exterior looks "too cool for school" but, remember this is exclusively an IVA suit not unlike, in function, the modified Navy pressure suit worn by the Mercury astronauts, which was relatively form-fitting. The crew of Gemini 7 also wore an IVA suit that was pretty futuristic looking. I think this is how pressurized Spacex suit will look. Header part will be pressurized but rest of body using just counter pressure.

Interesting to get clarification from SpaceX.
Compared to the competition.
Is that Elon inside? Note that Elon Musk "is an engineer at SpaceX."
Does the helmet have the internal spotlighting to illuminate the movie star's face (while incidentally blinding the movie star)?It's hard to take anything that looks so much like a movie prop seriously. I guess that will come after a few flights.

That's a punch in the face of the David Clark company, by one of their former users no less. Not to mention that it basically disqualifies the IVA suit for Orion.
