Are spacesuits on their way to becoming fashionable? Researchers at MIT have been designing and developing a slimmer and sleeker spacesuit for astronauts. However, this does not mean that NASA will have to become fashion conscious. These new space outfits are meant to be an improvement on the bulky outfits that are currently in use.

In fact, when I read about the new spacesuit, I couldn't help wondering how astronauts have managed to move around in space in their cumbersome outfits for so long. But thanks to the new body-hugging, elastic spacesuit that is being designed, spacewalkers might soon be going trekking in space. This should mark a whole new era in space exploration.
