Wiley Post (picture above) was the first pilot to fly solo around the world but he was also known for his work in high altitude flying. As such he helped to develop one of the fist pressure suits and he can be seen in it on the left. The complex system of garments that incorporate environmental systems and life support to maintain an astronaut in the harsh environment of space that we know as a space suit was decades away.
Fortunately by the time we were ready to go into space, the pressure suits designed to be worn had evolved and been somewhat enhanced. Here are ten of the coolest space suits to be made - ever.
