Resumen de Cosmic couture
When Apollo astronauts visited the moon in the 1960s and 70s, they stayed for a few hours, so it didn't matter if the suits were a little on the basic side.

With Mars in their sights too, they are working to refresh the space wardrobe.

Here, Crane discusses the importance of changing the spacesuit.
