How SpaceX Mastered Space Suits

SpaceX developed its own spacesuits for crew members, focusing on custom design and enhanced mobility.

Traditional spacesuits are rigid due to pressurization, limiting mobility and causing discomfort.

Each SpaceX suit is custom-made to fit individual crew members, improving fit and comfort.

SpaceX's suits feature criss-cross tensioners to assist joint movement, akin to a spider's leg.
