This is a perfect application for MCP: limited IVA only, low-pressure pure oxygen, emphasis on style. Nothing looks better than a silver skin-suit, right? <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" /> any other news on their suits,besides these pages?<br /><br />Josh <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <div align="center"><em>We need a first generation of pioneers.</em><br /></div> </div>

Too bad they have SO LITTLE info on the page, let alone images. I wonder if its even real or is it a prank? <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p> </p><p><span style="color:#ff9900" class="Apple-style-span">-pyoko</span> <span style="color:#333333" class="Apple-style-span">the</span> <span style="color:#339966" class="Apple-style-span">duck </span></p><p><span style="color:#339966" class="Apple-style-span"><span style="color:#808080;font-style:italic" class="Apple-style-span">It is by will alone I set my mind in motion.</span></span></p> </div>

<font color="yellow">"I wonder if its even real or is it a prank?"</font><br /><br />Apparently, it's real. There's been some discussion of them elsewhere on Uplink, IIRC.<br /><br />Here's an article about them at Space Daily. <br /><br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <font size="3" color="#ff9900"><p><font size="1" color="#993300"><strong><em>------------------------------------------------------------------- </em></strong></font></p><p><font size="1" color="#993300"><strong><em>"I hold it that a little rebellion now and then is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical. Unsuccessful rebellions, indeed, generally establish the encroachments on the rights of the people which have produced them. An observation of this truth should render honest republican governors so mild in their punishment of rebellions as not to discourage them too much. It is a medicine necessary for the sound health of government."</em></strong></font></p><p><font size="1" color="#993300"><strong>Thomas Jefferson</strong></font></p></font> </div>

One of the areas of Space Exploration that doesn't have many players in it at the moment. Should space tourism have the demand and orbital trips developed it could be an explosive market. If was trying to start a space related company I think this is one area I would investigate. No competitors yet that I know of and if you aren't capital rich that is a very good thing to have on your side. From the looks of the page it doesn't look like they have lots of money.
