Just seen a BBC article titled "Astronauts arrive at Kennedy for historic launch" and there is a photo of them in the capsule practising and the space suits they are wearing look very modern and swish and like something out of sci-fi.
I've tried to find out about them but can't find any mention of them anywhere, on wikipedia and the NASA page on space suits it just describes the old looking ones that look like museum pieces now.
Anyone know anything about them?
Looking closer at the photo I wonder if they aren't suitable for use outside in space perhaps, as they really look lightweight compared to the normal ones we've seen for decades.
