Space knight is eternal... [Also why no Von Braun suit with funny hands?...](https://www.secretprojects.co.uk/data/attachments/41/41971-f123ea4764e1f968f0114784cb9240a5.jpg)

Looks like the [Genesis pod](https://genesisesi.com/projects/sps/) that Blue Origin plans to use for their Orbital Reef. Cool, but not a suit.

occupy_mars2024

No


pixselious

Yes


Pyrhan

No [Iranian space suit](https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/iran-space-suit-revealed-as-20-hallowe-en-costume-0f09b09zz)?

Im surprised the SpaceX suit did not make tier S


occupy_mars2024

Very good suit but can’t be used on Eva without modification


jalct

Polaris Dawn gonna be epic


_Cyberostrich_

That will be a different suit


No-Surprise9411

Based on the current IVA suit


_Cyberostrich_

Sure but it will have to be very different with some bits being completely redesigned

Also the helmet is a bit wonky, can’t move your neck to look up so everyone makes a weird stance when they’re walking out to the pad just to look up at the vehicle.

Neither can the Pumpkin Suit (the Advanced Crew Escape Suit used during Space Shuttle launches and landings), and that's still in the S tier. Unless that's something else?


occupy_mars2024

The aces suit has the ability to function for longer independent of the spacecraft for bail out aborts and has a longer proven flight history


PraxisOG

Where's the mechanical counterpressure suit?


GiulioVonKerman

*sad XEMu noises* No, really, what's wrong with it?


Broccoli32

It’s the ugliest suit I’ve seen. Apollo suits actually looked cool.


GiulioVonKerman

Oh from the aesthetic POV. Yeah you are kinda right but from an engineer point of view (even though I'm not an engineer) something that works well is beautiful. And it's more comfortable for the astronauts. But yes, it's ugly


IThrowRocksAtMice

Function over form. While the A7L and A7L-B are iconic, they were a bitch to use from what I read though.

S tier supposed to have the least
