Another stellar idea. There are so many terrific ones here. Lost In Space, Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, Space:1999, Ghosts of Mars [I think], Buck Rogers, Farscape. We could even add Sunshine, The Naked Tiem suit Spock wore, 12 Monkeys... there are so so many really terrific space suit designs. Wodnerful stuff John.
