Protecting the human body from the vacuum of space is probably one of the most difficult challenges in spaceflight. A suit is a miniature spacecraft, and must be light, flexible, and able to protect its wearer from extreme environments. We will trace the origins of spacesuits form the early 1930’s to the needs of those who will walk on Mars.
