Yes, their working on a contract with Xcor and making a pilot's pressure suit not and tourist suit yet.

They have to different sets of requirements.

I wonder what cabin pressure the Xcor craft will use, what mix it will be and what mix and pressure they will use in the suits???

Maybe I'm being harsh but it looks to me like they don't care about DCS (decompression sickness).

From the images I've seen this suit is unpressurized. I wonder what it would looking in use?
