elon musk reveals first image of working spaceX space suit

‘first picture of spaceX spacesuit,‘ said musk on his official account. ‘more in days to follow. worth noting that this actually works (not a mockup). already tested to double vacuum pressure. was incredibly hard to balance esthetics and function. easy to do either separately.‘
