An astronautics professor at MIT has recently developed a new spacesuit that is lightweight and more practical for space travelers and future mars inhabitors. This spacesuit is very flexible and will allow the astronauts to move around more freely. Her spacesuit was partially inspired by giraffe anatomy which use tight leg skin to regulate blood pressure. The suite is an estimated ten years from completion but will be used and tested on earth by helping physical therapy patients exercise.
