Anyone know who is the other Austronaut? He who took the picture.

Yes, thats right.

[Nikolai]

Aw, nuts. I knew that one. Do I get extra credit if I note that your second picture is from a publicity shot for Apollo 9?

[wolf14455]

Good one, yup you earned an imaginary candy. [:)]

Got the same suit as Buzz in my avatar pic. Was that your clue?

Here are some more suits that was developed

[Nikolai]

I'm just interested in spacesuits generally, so recognizing the Apollo model was easy. I have a long-term project to make a "next generation" spacesuit as a Halloween costume; the idea is to make a suit for an asteroid miner in the near future. It's kind of part spacesuit, part rock-climbing gear, part field geology lab, with conveniences like quick-swapping O2 tanks using BNC connectors.

Sounds interesting. And the haloween stuff sounds fun too. [:)]

Have you seen my Belter (Asteroid mining) entry in my vid list?

[Nikolai]

Yeah, I saw it, though I wish I could get a closer look. And I appreciate your video about lunar spacesuits, too.

[wolf14455]

Thanx, I apreciate that.
