out of the space program

NASA’s spacesuits
have evolved over the years
I mean, back in the ‘60s
even going to the moon
their suits were actually
paper thin
and by the ‘80s
there was more elasticity in joints
but spacesuits were heavier, thicker
you know, toughen the edges
to protect he people
now they make them
with thinner, but stronger skins
with built-in, potential injection points
you know, in case an astronaut
needs adrenalin for energy
or morphine for pain
now, since we’re an outsourcing nation
NASA looked to other companies
to help create these space suits
who can utilities their technology
who says we don’t get anything
out of the space program
well, the military offered to help out NASA
and now this ingenious
space suit technology
is being used in battle
I know NASA is a government agency
but it’s just fascinating
to see how outer space exploration
is now linked to the military
what the Hell,
I guess I should know better
I mean, the military wanted
to explode nuclear bombs
on the dark side of the moon
I’m sure it’s good to give
emergency injections for pain
to our soldiers in battle
so who says we don’t get anything
out of the space program
