Meet the team behind Artemis III spacesuit
Axiom Space hired 10 people to design and construct the spacesuit of the future. It will be worn by the next NASA astronauts to step foot on the moon --hopefully in 2025. The new suit is a lot different from the ones used the first time around -- more than 50 years ago.
