NASA Astronaut Space Suit Can Koozie

Because there are few things more enjoyable in life than sipping a cold one and playing space rangers, maker of outerwear-inspired koozies Puffin Drinkwear is selling this insulated Space Suit koozie. The can cover fits standard 12- and 16-ounce cans and includes a tiny closable backpack for storing other goodies like… actually, I’m not sure what. Glitterstim? Freeze-dried ice cream?

This is easily one of the top five koozies I’ve ever seen, and I will be buying one. Or rather, I’ll be putting it on my Christmas list and purchasing one myself after everybody lets me down like they have every other year. My family always asks what I want, I show them my list, and I still get a yearly membership to the Jelly of the Month Club instead.

Do you think this is what the real astronauts aboard the International Space Station drink out of? Of course not. They drink out of pouches, just like kangaroos would if they were smarter. There’s a good reason kangaroos haven’t been to the moon, you know. Granted, I don’t know what it is, but there definitely is one.

NASA’s New Z-2 Spacesuit Is The Weirdest Spacesuit Ever

Z-2 Spacesuit 1

In anticipation of the first manned expedition to Mars, NASA has been working on some new spacesuit ideas, out of which the Z-2 is particularly interesting.

What you see in the picture is the spacesuit known as the Z-2: it’s a next-gen one piece with some amazing features like allowing astronauts to slide from a pressurized vehicle into the suit by removing the life support system and the hatch cover. The Z-2 improves over the Z-1 by adding a hard torso for extra resistance, and better ergonomic shapes on the shoulders and hips.

What makes this suit really cool, though, is the crazy TRON-style lighting, which was voted by the public as the best exterior for the suit. It’s meant to provide extra visibility, but the whole thing makes it look sort of like Buzz Lightyear.
