I Tested NASA's New Space Suit (Ft. Axiom Space)

Only 12 people have ever walked on the moon and they all did it within just 4 years of each other. Then, for the last 50 years, no one has gone back… but that’s about to change. Soon, astronauts will return to the moon to prepare for people to live there long-term and to get us ready to send the first humans to Mars. But to do it, they need to survive outside in space and work for hours in one of the most dangerous conditions a human will ever face. The problem is, our spacesuits for the Moon haven’t been updated in decades! But now, to make this next chapter in space possible, space suits are getting a major upgrade. These new suits will give astronauts the superpower to do more, for longer… and I’m one of the first civilians to put one on. In this video, we’re taking you behind the scenes to show how Axiom Space is designing, building, and testing NASA’s new space suits. I am going to put myself and this suit to the test, to give you a sneak peak into what it looks like, what it feels like, and how it could change what humanity can do in space...
