You can run, but you can't hide... Not even in space!
Space Suit Surge comin' through, with removable backpack, Sniper rifle, helmet that moves (much wow), and WAIST ARTICULATION!
PS: Flickr, Y U make layout look like poop? Poop, i say, poop!
The table had a whole array of spacesuits from "2001: A Space Odyssey." There was also a 1/6 scale space pod, but I don't know if that was being offered.
You wonder, of course, when you look at a human-shaped spacesuit with the visor down, if you are looking at a human, an almost-human, or five reptilian octopus creatures wearing one spacesuit. Thankfully, in this case, it's santa_sangre where the best thing I can say is that, if I am prey, she's been nice about it.
Lightpainting details: The gen3basic has a pattern that's intentionally reminescent the traveling-wave effect my neon tube would do. It was starting to flake out (need to do some further work on making it sturdier) and that's why it has a few gaps. I also had my lightpainting feather with the old 60 LED/M staff showing a checkerboard pattern using CircuitPython, except that it didn't read as a checkerboard the way I'd intended but in a new and interesting way.

iss059e005614 (Match 29, 2019) -- NASA astronaut Anne McClain displays a spacesuit glove that is part of an Extravehicular Mobility Unit, or spacesuit, worn during spacewalks staged from the U.S. Quest joint airlock. A U.S. spacesuit glove consists of several layers for extra thermal protection and comfort. Thermofoil heaters are also attached inside each of the fingertips in one of the layers of the glove.
iss064e015374 (Dec. 28, 2020) --- A pair of U.S. spacesuits are pictured inside the Quest airlock packed with a variety of hardware ahead of planned spacewalks for upgrades and maintenance outside the International Space Station.

“APOLLO GARMENT--Test subject wears Apollo overgarment designed especially for astronauts on lunar surface missions. The overgarment is worn over the Apollo space suit. Specially designed cover for backpack is not worn in this photograph.”
See page 34. A fascinating document:

Also note the interesting lunar overshoe design, this apparently being boot design no. 1. Excellent information regarding it, per the following extract from “Moon Boot: The story of the Apollo lunar overshoe and the race to walk on the moon”, by David H. Mather, published 2014 by “Space Effects”, UK:
“By mid-1964 continued development of the AX1L resulted in the A-4H suit which was supplied with heavy and restrictive thermal overgarments. This early prototype suit was notable for the fact that it featured the first of the three eventual and distinct lunar boot designs. The A4H boots were worn over the pressure suit and outer thermal protection, and took the form of slippers held on by Velcro straps. The thermally insulating sole was made of a composite material that consisted of a shoe bottom with 1” (25mm) spacers separating the bottom from the top portion. This created a raised platform and distanced the astronaut from the heat and cold of the lunar surface.”

The above citation/reference in no way constitutes my endorsement of the book, although it does look pretty damned good to me.
Last, but NOT least, I think the test subject is Benjamin Cole, Hamilton Standard engineer.

SpaceX Crew-1 astronaut in Brickheadz theme!

The actual set idea is not specific to particular astronauts but includes many spare parts to make your own astronauts!
“Technician inserts two inflight pens and a penlight in spacesuit pocket of Apollo 8 Command Module Pilot James Lovell about four hours before he was launched on a lunar orbital mission with Commander Frank Borman and Lunar Module Pilot William Anders. The Astronauts rode into earth orbit aboard a 363-foot-high Saturn V space vehicle following their launch at 7:51 a.m., EST, December 21, 1968. Apollo 8 is the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s first manned launch using the Saturn V.”
Consider this, the FIRST manned flight of the most complex, most powerful rocket ever built.
Destination: the friggin’ MOON.
Steely-eyed missile men? The Right Stuff?
Yes indeed, and a WHOLE LOT more.
Awe inspiring.
Once in a lifetime.
May/may not be the same one. Interesting regardless:

Note that the name tab on the NASM suit appears to be “J LOVELL”, while the suit in the pre-flight photograph bears “LOVELL”. Most likely due to the original being removed after the flight, and given to Lovell, as I believe was the case with each mission, other than Apollo 11.
Neither here nor there; however, the name tab, U.S. flag and NASA/mission emblems are disturbingly faded, especially for wear only during Intravehicular Activity. Maybe some sort of conscientious conservation measures should’ve been started a whole lot earlier?
Based on the NASA reports, the portable life support system (the backpack of the spacesuit) was made- with LEGO pieces. It contains oxygen tanks, carbon dioxide scrubbers, ventilation fans, cooling water pumps, batteries, and other essential equipment to keep an astronaut alive and comfortable in the spacesuit.
Of course the rest of the spacesuit was also build with LEGO pieces.

In addition to the spare parts for customizable faces and hairstyles, this set ida comes with unique space-theme base plates and spacewalk tools based on the real tools in space.
There are two spacesuits in this set: the current NASA spacesuit, and the Artemis spacesuit for the lunar missions from 2024.

The NASA Artemis spacesuit will be worn by the first female moonwalker in 2024.
In this LEFO MOc, all the details are implemented, including the portable life support system (backpack) based on the real design of the NASA Artemis suit. Shoulders, elbows, wrists, waist, hip, knees, and ankles are movable. The upper torso is hollow like real spacesuits.
I built a mech-scale LEGO spacesuit. Posable joints, hollow torso, life supporting backpack d on the real components-

“Astronaut R. Walter Cunningham places the Seismograph down after walking 90 paces from the simulated instrumentation package.”
Above per the official NASA caption/description on the verso.
“REFLECTING ASTRONAUT—Astronaut R. Walter Cunningham in a Moon suit reflects scientists and engineers in his face cover as he goes through a given task to see how well the suit and the Astronaut can work…Cunningham places the Seismograph down walking 90 paces from a simulated instrumentation package. Cunningham was going through the exercises on the Manned Spacecraft Center grounds at Houston. The exercises were a rehearsal of tasks he is to perform at Bend, Ore., next week.”
Above per the Associated Press slug/caption affixed to the verso, with some sort of indestructible military-grade tape btw.

...Cunningham appears (to me) to be wearing an International Latex Corporation (ILC) A-2L suit derivation, depicted as Fig. 2.19, page 25 at the above link, but not with the Gemini boots.
Check out those gloves…damn…no fine dexterity there, and that ankle "joint" looks uncomfortable. However, this was only 1964, and probably pretty damned good for then. ‘Project Management’/Building 2 is in the background.
Very informative:

"On Mars, low air pressure and oxygen levels will require you to wear a pressurized spacesuit. Today's extra-vehicular activity suits are essentially gas-pressurized balloons. When inflated, they become rigid and stiff.
"Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) professor Dava Newman is reinventing the spacesuit for Mars. Her form-fitting BioSuit(TM) is made of stretchy fibers and incorporates active materials. The suit applies pressure directly to the skin." [Text accompanying the exhibit]

A couple of Waterbury Haz Mat team members carry buckets of absorbent into Wolcott High School after approximately. 1 gallon of Nitric Acid was spilled in the chemistry lab. Chemistry Teacher Dr. Peter Carleton was preparing for an opening day of school demonstration when the mishap occurred forcing the school to be evacuated around 3:30 on Tuesday. The first day of school is Thursday for Wolcott students.
New image of my LEGO Ideas entry: NASA Artemis Spacesuit.
The latest spacesuit for the moon exploration from 2024 was made brick by brick, featuring the realistic look based on the real Artemis spacesuit, functional joints, detailed portable life support system (backpack), rear entry hatch, and two minifigs representing the "first woman" and "next man" since the Apollo Program in '60s and early '70s.
The CO2 scrubber, O2 tanks, and other components in the backpack are also made with LEGO bricks.
