I hope all these ghouls lose their shirts.
Testing in production is normally scary enough. This is just an insane concept.
I'm sure they still have a lot of work to do to make mobility easier and make them self contained instead of tethered, but it's a great first step. It's cool to see the investment and development alongside the Axiom xEMU derivative.
This milestone is more about developing the technology in the suits and ship. The spacewalk itself really just involved testing out the range of motion of the suit, but the full test involved a lot more changes and tests in the Dragon.
And the shape is better for driver visibility and pedestrian safety

Companies like this make me wish I had the gall to sell snake oil to venture capitalists.
What a classic recipe. It's a YC company with a McKinsey CEO.
The R2 and R3 will be smaller. I don't think there are official dimensions for the R3 yet, so the ones I used are unofficial.
LxWxH:
R1T 217″, 79″, 78″
R1S 201″, 82″, 77″
R2 186", 75", 67"
R3 161, ?, 60
Let's go with "as routine as a cruise", then. We just need a good space elevator, orbital ring, skyhook...
RIP B1062. 23 flights is literally unheard of.
I like AntennaPod for podcasts.
