Check out NASA’s Buzz Lightyear-inspired Spacesuit

The Z-1 is NASA’s next generation spacesuit, a prototype of which is pictured at the Johnson Space Center. Planned for use by astronauts as they travel to infinity and beyond to new deep-space locations, the next generation suit will incorporate a number of technology advances to shorten preparation time, improve safety and boost astronaut capabilities during spacewalks and surface activities.

Ed note: Can a spacesuit be an astronaut’s home? They provide oxygen, shelter and even a bathroom!
