"Bro, just a few words.
1. Here you will fall from board just once.
2. If you do, pray for quick end."
What? A woman? On that spaceship? With a pink spacesuit? That's totally unexpected... Benny is not ready for this! He couldn't even speak... What next?
To Walk an Alien Land... He sat foot upon the barren rock of a new world, new to man. There was a residual atmosphere of Nitrogen and Carbon Dioxide but little or no Oxygen. There was widespread evidence of erosion indicating a prior abundance of water but there was little surface water now. They had spent decades in deep sleep and a small exploratory force had recently been awakened by the autopilot to resupply within the nearest system. There was little need for anyone to leave the ship as all resupply functions could be performed remotely by robotics. Spacesuits were still primitive and rarely used, but there were always a few who savoured the experience of walking a new world...

'Oh wow, you have one of those new space suits! How do you like it?'
'Great flexibility, I can even turn my head! But I still haven't found the visor de-fogging button...'
*****************************
I prefer the old chrome visors in my builds, but for photo's the matted visor is a lot easier... Not my entire room reflected!
And yes, Gany-Base is growing in the background...
Or, put another way, reflections in the Space Shuttle Spacesuit Visor in the Smithsonian Museum Visitor Center, Washington, D.C.
"In space, no one can hear you hiss..."
Since you've breached out of your egg, you've always dreamt to become an astrosaurian? Join the Saurian Space Program now and wear the newest VL-02 space suit.
Th VL-02 space suit is filled with cutting edge technologies, like the tail propulsor, HUD display or the mechanical claws featuring the latest breakthrough in claw technology: the "opposite claw finger"!
Un nouveau cycle de sorties extravéhiculaires (mon correcteur orthographique veut plutôt écrire « extraordinaires » et honnêtement ça n’aurait pas été faux) est sur le point de commencer. Cette fois-ci, Mark et Aki prendront place dans les scaphandres. Comme d'habitude, les vérifications sont de mise : il faut s'assurer que tout fonctionne bien et qu'ils leur vont. Ils l'ont déjà fait sur Terre, mais si vous vous rappelez bien, la colonne vertébrale s'allonge un peu un impesanteur, on grandit momentanément Et puis 2 précautions valent mieux qu'une ! Entrer et sortir de sa combinaison, une véritable armure, reste un moment délicat, peu importe l'expérience de l'astronaute 😆 Pour ces essais, c'est Megan qui était aux commandes des opérations 👨🚀🚀👩🚀
Another cycle of EVAs is set to begin, but this time I’m not in the spacesuit! Mark and Aki will head out the door. One important step is verifying that their suits fit and work properly (don’t forget, our spines lengthen and our bodies change a bit in weightlessness). Getting in and out of the US EMU suit is a team effort. In this case, Megan was running the show. 👨🚀🚀👩🚀

ESA astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti in the International Space Station's airlock. She explains: "Hoses, hoses everywhere! Periodic scrubbing of the cooling water loops of the airlock and of three spacesuits. You need cooling water to remove excess body heat while you work hard during a spacewalk!"

This one was inspired by the current Lego City Space Theme. I wanted to use the things like the Space Helmets and those cool Lab Guys in a MOC. So I came up with the idea of a Lab, where they develop those suits.
This will be part of a new collab with Boba-1980, so watch out, there is more Space Stuff coming.
Not a spacesuit but a SCAPE suit – standing for ‘Self Contained Atmospheric Protective Ensemble’. Technicians don these suits before filling satellites with the toxic hydrazine fuel used for manoeuvres in space. This one was snapped by Portuguese photographer Edgar Martins at ESA’s Spaceport in French Guiana.
ESA’s Clean Space initiative is researching greener alternatives to hydrazine but for now this high-energy propellant is being used to fuel almost all satellites as well as launcher upper stages.
Edgar Martins collaborated closely with ESA to produce a comprehensive photographic survey of the Agency’s various facilities around the globe, together with those of its international partners.
Characteristically empty of people, Martins’ long-exposure photos – taken with analogue wide film cameras – possess a stark, reverent style. They document the variety of specialised installations and equipment needed to prepare missions for space, or to recreate orbital conditions for testing down on Earth.

Shane and I working on our spacesuits for Wednesday's spacewalk (Mark and Megan will have the huge task to get us into the suits and prepare the airlock), and after that the spacesuit taking a well-deserved break. The spacesuits work hard too you know! They are a marvel of engineering and the only thing keeping us alive when we head outside. Their design is at complete opposites, on the one hand we want them to be as thick as possible to protect us against vacuum and temperature differences, but on the other hand we want them to be as light and manoeuvrable as possible so we can get the work done! As with all design and engineering (and in other domains, I hear you say) it is all a matter of trade-off and compromise. During the spacewalk we will regularly check our gloves for scratches, as they touch the most objects and surfaces (we walk with our hands remember) but they also have to be the most agile so are the most likely to show wear and tear.
"On continue à préparer la sortie extravéhiculaire de mercredi prochain (et celle du dimanche suivant !) avec Shane et toute l’équipe : Mark et Megan auront un boulot monstre dans l’airlock, pour nous aider à enfiler les combinaisons, tout préparer… et nous mettre dehors. Cette semaine on s’est beaucoup concentrés sur les scaphandres. Ce sont des merveilles de technologies, il faut bien ça pour nous protéger du vide spatial ! Ils doivent répondre à des contraintes et des besoins finalement opposés : d’un côté on veut qu’elles soient aussi solides que possible pour nous protéger du vide et des variations de temperature. De l’autre, on a besoin qu’elles soient suffisamment souples pour être manœuvrables, sans être fourbus après trente minutes ! Le résultat c’est ce superbe compromis, souple et solide à la fois (on dirait que je fais une pub de lessive ;)). Pendant la sortie, on vérifiera régulièrement si nos gants n’ont pas d’égratignures : ce sont eux qui touchent le plus de choses, vu qu’on marche… avec nos mains au final, en agrippant la structure pour nous déplacer #escalade

I used the NASA Selfies app on my iPhone for this fun selfie. It allows you to take a selfie that the app places inside a spacesuit. You can choose a space background from NASA's built-in images. Then you can read about the background and save your creation to your phone. It works on Android phones too.

Pour la première fois depuis notre arrivée sur la ISS, nous avons essayé nos combinaisons spatiales, celles-là mêmes que nous portions au décollage. Elles n’ont pas changé, évidemment, mais nous, peut-être ! L’impesanteur modifie le corps humain de façon significative, entre la colonne vertébrale qui s’allonge et les fluides corporels se répartissent plus vers le haut du corps (les visages des astronautes sont en général plus arrondis pendant leur vol). Fort heureusement les équipes de @spacex ont pris ces effets en compte et ils ont fait du bon boulot : on rentre toujours dedans 😅 On devrait les remettre si notre Dragon doit changer de port d’amarrage, c’est prévu demain. Dans ce cas, évidement nous serons tous à bord, au cas où les manœuvres échouent et que le vaisseau doive redescendre sur Terre. Peu probable évidemment, mais dans l’espace, il faut être prêt à toute éventualité. Évidemment en 0G les combinaisons ne se comportent pas du tout comme sur Terre, c’est plus facile d’y entrer… et beaucoup plus difficile d’en sortir 😆 Une fois de plus, vous pouvez constater que Megan utilise ses super-pouvoirs de Jedi pour contrôler la sienne 👌
Trying out our spacesuits for the first time since we arrived: they haven’t changed, but we might have! Weightlessness induces a lot of bodily changes, including spine elongation and a general fluid shift to the upper body – if our spacesuits were not specifically designed to take these effects into account we would not fit in our suits anymore! Thanks to the brilliant suit team @spaceX we still fit! We will put them on for port relocation, whene we free up our Dragon parking spot and go to another. Funny how, in space, the suits don’t behave at all like on earth, and if they might be easier to don, they’re harder to doff (for the most part). Here Megan is using, once again, her Jedi powers to make the suit behave.

Major Timothy Nigel Peake CMG (born 7 April 1972) is a British Army Air Corps officer, European Space Agency astronaut and a former International Space Station (ISS) crew member.
He is the first British ESA astronaut, the second astronaut to bear a flag of the United Kingdom patch (the first was Helen Sharman, who visited Mir as part of Project Juno in 1991), the sixth person born in the United Kingdom to go on board the International Space Station and the seventh UK-born person in space.
At 70,000 feet above the Earth, I took this selfie—encased in a full-pressure suit inside the cockpit of a U-2 spy plane, one of the most iconic aircraft ever built. At that moment, I was the 11th highest person on the planet—only the astronauts aboard the International Space Station were higher. The thin, curved line of the atmosphere shimmered below me; above, the sky faded into the deep black of space.
This flight was the culmination of rigorous preparation—chamber training, physical tests, oxygen pre-breathing, and a surreal introduction to “tube food” (the chocolate pudding wasn’t bad). The U-2 itself is a marvel: designed in the 1950s by Lockheed’s legendary Kelly Johnson to out-climb missiles and outlast the Cold War. Essentially a powered glider with wings like a dragonfly, it still flies today—outliving even its successor, the SR-71.
Flying with Lt. Colonel Joe “Tucc” Santucci at the controls, I felt suspended between two worlds. Inside the pressurized bubble, silence reigned. Outside, the Earth unfurled like a vast, living map. The GoPro I mounted captured not just an image, but a visceral memory: the edge of the possible.
Before takeoff, they put me in a steel-reinforced chamber to simulate a sudden cabin breach. The pressure dropped instantly to 70,000 feet. I watched a bottle of water boil—an unforgettable demonstration of what would happen to my blood without the suit.
That suit saved my life. But the view changed it.
In that singular moment, with my hand raised toward the lens, I wasn’t just taking a photo. I was reaching out to capture the awe—the profound, humbling perspective that only comes from seeing our fragile world from the edge of space.
I hope there's still "space" on the leaderboard for a new player to "appear", 'cause this builder is taking the "portal" straight to the top! Don't even bother with the pur-"suit"!
14 mudguards used - 4 for steps, 4 for storage under the podium, 4 for portals, and 2 for spacesuit storage.
Built for Iron Forge 2025 Round 1 with the seedpart mudguards.
Thanks for checking it out,
