For the first time in 50 years, NASA is sending someone back to the moon. Now, it's unveiled the spacesuit those astronauts will wear. The spacesuit was contracted by NASA for over $228 million. It was designed by Axiom Space for the four-person crew, which will include the team’s first woman to ever step foot on the moon. The new suit – named the AxEMU (Axiom Extravehicular Mobility Unit) prototype – will offer the crew new safety features like innovative life support systems, plus pressure garments, and new tech for enhanced comfort and mobility on the moon. While the suit still requires additional testing, it was designed to accommodate over 90 percent of the U.S. population and can fit a broad range of crew members. Fans can expect the Artemis II to go sky-high in 2024, and touch down on the Moon’s surface by 2025.

L’Epée Unveils La Regatta
The new ‘kinetic sculpture’ presents a sleek vertical clock in the shape of a long thin scull. The movement is fully exposed, and the full ‘gear train’ is arranged in a single line (to evoke the rower’s backbone, and the image of a single line of scullers in a quadruple boat). Two long, blade-like hands display the time and the entire piece towers twenty inches high. Equipped with an eight-day power reserve, La Regatta is wound on the back of its movement by a key (which also sets the time). The limited edition piece drops today, in six colors. For each color, only 99 pieces will be made available.
