TL;DR

NASA's aging spacesuits, dating back to the 1980s, are increasingly problematic, with recent incidents forcing the cancellation of spacewalks due to safety concerns. The agency is under pressure to update its extravehicular mobility units, having contracted private companies to develop new suits.

The situation underscores broader concerns about the aging International Space Station's infrastructure.
