Yeah! As it was introduced to me "Babes in Space!"

Pretty cool, or warm in this instance I guess. ^_^

I'm somewhat confused that a modern suit...

"severely constrains astronauts' movements. About 70 to 80 percent of the energy they exert while wearing the suit goes towards simply working against the suit to bend it."

... is so stiff and heavy that it takes a lot of effort to move around in them, which is bad. So she's designing a suit which...

"could be designed to offer varying resistance levels, allowing the astronauts to exercise against the suits during a long flight to Mars."

is stiff and heavy so it takes a lot of effort to move around in, which is good. o.O

Good Point. I hadn't thought of that.
