It is true that we walked into space for the first time "only" in 1961, but a walk through the history of spacesuits takes us back as much as 80 years. And before they became orange and white spacesuits, reminiscent of a rubber man from Michelin and an elite soldier for disarming bombs, they were closer to diving suits. Otherwise, since the 1960s, space fashion has not undergone drastic changes, but it has drastically advanced in technology.
Walk through the history of spacesuits although it is not as exciting as the spacewalk carried out by the astronauts in it, but the development is certainly interesting, mainly because of some fashion "quicks". There haven't been any drastic changes in terms of appearance in the last decade (but this will change in the fall of 2015), probably due to the fact that the suits for astronauts, these spacesuits, since 1972 manufactured by only one company, Japanese Smithsonian. 32 years ago, it also produced the first suit to taste the space atmosphere.
