I so couldn’t be an astronaut because those big clumsy suits just make you look like an oaf, darling. But now MIT have made space safe for Sloane Rangers, having designed a sleek and sexy spacesuit. Sign me up.
Yes, I know this has been all round the web already, but I just love it. When I was a postdoc at MIT yonks ago it was all nerds, pizza and T-shirts that said “IHTFP”. (Do I have to spell it out ?). You had to walk up to Harvard Square to find anybody with any dress sense. I guess things have changed. The suit looks great and so does Dava. Down boy Down.
