I want this jumpsuit (though it might have some nasty snag points)

No. That's an EVA suit in the picture, used on orbit only. The pressure suit used by shuttle crewmen when they have to bail out is an orange altitude protection suit; it has an integrated parachute. A friend of mine used to test them out in Yuma.

This is photoshopped.

I recognise the space suit person's excact posture from a NASA picture.

Quite good photoshopping, though.

;)

Relax, you can die if you mess up, but it will probably not be by bullet.

I'm a BIG, TOUGH BIGWAY FORMATION SKYDIVER! What are you?

Oddly enough, I totally bought that the photo was real. I was more hung up on the fact that the article was calling a jump from 9k a "high altitude" jump.:S



For the Military, anything above 1000ft is "high altitude".
I guess it makes sense in a context where you actually have people trying to shoot you out of the sky ;)

Cheers,

Vale
