Form follows function. So we have a plasticized cloth suit that has emergency seals at every joint, and a helmet that bayonet-locks into place (put it on facing slightly left and twist to the right until it clicks). The helmet is opaque kevlar with a perspex face plate and a tinted visor that slides down across the faceplate. Incidentally the cloth is impregnated with a solution that protects against solar radiation, to a certain extent.<br/><br/>On the chest of the suit are the temperature controls, oxygen controls, radio controls, etc. The suit does have a Heads-Up Display (HUD) that puts all the variose data relating to the suit onto the faceplate. The HUD can be turned on and off by clenching the left fist. If anyone needs to know exactly how it works, PM me, but I can only see that being an issue if you find yourself stranded out on the surface somewhere... Which may happen, if we get that far, but not in the next few Mars days, I hope. Let's wait until the cpace craft leaves orbit and heads home before we start making trouble, huh?<br/><br/>If anyone wants to ask anything technical of me, please do.
