It’s everyone’s favorite topic, jumping out of a perfectly good spaceship. Jeff Feige of Orbital Outfitters says when you jump – it’s all about attitude.
What will the spacesuit of the future look like? How will your basic comforts be taken care of? Will you look cool?
Those questions and more (Tim even sings) in this special edition of your Space Task Force, as we take the No Gravity Zone to Washington, D.C. for ISDC 2008.
