Question: why do you want to make suits?

Hi @catlover2332,

Well… unfortunately astronauts undergo a lot of weaknesses in their body when they go into space due to the lack of gravity. So.. ideally we need to give them that gravity back! The best way to do that would be to have the space station rotating or have some kind of rotating wheel within the space station. Both of those ideas at the moment are too impractical so we need to find other ways of recreating gravity in a low cost and low volume (small object) manner. The skinsuit aims to do exactly that. It tries to recreate gravity by providing you will compression down the body similar to how we would experience gravity. In this way we can hopefully help to try and keep them stronger!
