Wary of Artemis IV Timeline, NASA Changes Lunar Spacesuit Design The recent decision by NASA to adopt a simpler spacesuit design for its initial lunar missions has raised concerns about the agency's priorities.
As NASA scrambles to meet an accelerated timeline for landing humans on the Moon, it seems that corners are being cut – and not just on the suit's functionality.
