re: A Human Factors view on Spacesuits
Good picture Raoul!
It shows three spacecraft. Of coarse two of them are anthropomorphic mini-spacecraft. I think this is why I'm so interested in spacesuits. They are machines built to contain an individual and allow them to do useful work in an environment where they would die otherwise. It is sort of like my adolescent interest in another comic book character Tony Stark AKA Iron Man... Andy Chaikin has call a spacesuit "a machine you put on," and that is a good a description as any I think.
