Caption: I fucking love OUTER SPACE. all those planets and stars and shit.
I love this space suit. And no, I never thought that I’d write those words. It’s just so retro-futuristic and screams Kubrick to me.
Also, I will now be subscribing to this site’s space suit of the week feature.

Stories like this just blow my mind.
The mere fact that there are people with the technology and skills to make such delicate measurements is enough to amaze me, but add to that that what they’re measuring are planets orbiting other stars and I find myself stunned.
Sadly, I’m sure this will illicit the over-excitable press to extend the findings to something more than they are which will just lead to disappoint me down the road when they should be focusing on how wonderful even this is. We don’t need to find an Earth-like planet in an Earth-like orbit to congratulate our scientists on a job well done.
