Just use the tech from the 60's, it worked perfectly.

They are. THese suits are basically from the 1980s and are based on easier design. We have better batteries and electronics and these suits are modular but basically the same. Water cooling has been around for at least 50 years

Should have been using the new Collins Aerospace EMU space suits. NASA can't get away from these old suits soon enough.

Seems like a few issues going on up there at the ISS....wondering if we are getting the full story?
