Pathologically incapable of looking at this without imagining a flamethrower strapped to his back.

British Interplanetary Society

Um, what?

The British Interplanetary Society (BIS), founded in Liverpool in 1933 by Philip E. Cleator, is the oldest existing space advocacy organisation in the world. Its aim is exclusively to support and promote astronautics and space exploration.

I wonder if this is inspiration for Cylons and Mandalorians

His eyes look to me like he's feeling sassy. "Something something you want to measure my ass with two numbers, but don't even want to measure my son's ass" etc...etc...

Gives me shivers imagining wearing that. Bet that comes with a lot of bad ways to die

To me, this suit looks like its part of the toilet. My worry was that my kids would make me get one.

Smell your own cooking.

Was this suit part of Project Excelsior?

[–] setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

No that came later, and used a more streamlined Clark MC-3A suit.
