I’ve owned my horrendously smelly and well worn Russian High Altitude flight suit since 2013… Why did I buy it? I have no idea… after it almost killed me, I still continued to take it around the world with me to take whimsical photographs. And now, it’s basically the bane of my existence.

And although I have a love/hate relationship with this stupid thing, I do question how well it would work in the event of sudden spontaneous decompression… So, I think it’s time I check out a REAL space suit, try it on, and see if it’s worth hanging up the old orange suit for something.. A little more… blue…

Check out my article all about what it's like to train with the Boeing CST-100 Starliner and wear their incredible space suit! everydayastronaut.com/boeing-starliner-astronaut/

I'm honestly really surprised that they haven't let you try on the SpaceX suits yet. I wonder what's keeping them? 🤔

You should do a collaborative video/project with Adam from Tested to make a costume-grade version of either the Boeing space suit or the SpaceX suit, or both :)

Did they at least let you keep the 'Everyday Astronaut' patch?

Lol at the boom microphone "one of these" segment. Even so, fascinating, entertaining, and informative as always! Keep up the good work Tim!

I'd heard about a Nerdgasm. Now I know what it looks like. Thanks for that, Tim Dodd. The delight on your face was priceless, as was the suit, I'll wager...
