Visit with Astronaut Michael Gernhardt
Today in the Life Sciences Department, Astronaut Michael Gernhardt presented some absolutely awesome things he's been working on. He's the founder of Oceaneering Space Systems, a professional deep see diver, and currently NASA's lead for extravehicular physiology systems and performance projects. He gave us a great insight on his design for Small Pressurized Rovers (SPR) to be utilized for astronauts to explore the Moon's surface. I couldn't find a picture of the most updated conceptual design as he showed in his presentation today, but this is what an older design looks like: photo

Was the Eva glove and helmet out in space? I know it doesn't really change anything about them, they don't gain any "spaciness" but it would be so cool if they were.
