The astronomical cost of NASA's moon spacesuits.

NASA has spent $228 million on commissioning spacesuits from Axiom Space as part of a $1.26 billion contract awarded last year. The suits will be rented by NASA for its Artemis missions, which aim to return humans to the Moon for the first time in over 50 years. The spacesuits are designed to protect astronauts from extreme temperatures and temperature swings, and boast a superior range of motion compared to the suits worn during the Apollo missions.
