That's exactly why Dr. Newman developed the *Bio-Suit...


Looks to me much more like "is developing" rather than "developed.".
According to that Web page, all they have so far is ideas, mockups,
and a few partial prototypes. It does not look like the sort of thing
I would rely on as a primary life support system for a 12-hour profile
anytime in the near future.

Thanks, Bob K.


The literature from 4 years ago says Dr. Newman has personally tested
her suit at 95% of space vacuum.
