Wait, what? Evangelion was RIGHT?

That's right folks, all those fetishy skin tight pilot suits? %[link=http://news.discovery.com/space/space-suit-astronauts-bones.html#mkcpgn=rssnws1]Turns out that they are the wave of the future for space exploration.]
So now I have to apologize to Rob Kelk for complaining about Rocket Girls' and Stellvia's fetish suits incessantly.

Yeah, sorry, still creepy on kids. ;p

No harm, no foul... No worries.

skintight spacesuits have been an idea in both hard and soft scifi since 1977. Especially for environments where you don't need to worry about micro-meteoroid impacts (say mars, where it's atmophereic pressure is 60% of earth).
I'm surprised they don't put more of a squeeze to the upper body/arms, as that is where all your blood tends to go when not under the effect of gravity.

Since 1977? Try since 1937. What do you think Buck Rogers was wearing, back in the day?
