Only 12 people have ever walked on the Moon and they all did it within just 4 years of each other... Then, for the last 50 years, no one has gone back.
But that is about to change.
Soon, astronauts will return to the Moon to prepare for people to live there long term and to get us ready to send the first humans to another planet.
But to do all of that, they need to be able to survive outside in space and work for hours in one of the most dangerous conditions a human being will ever face.
The problem is our spacesuits for the Moon haven't been updated in decades.
But now to make this next chapter in space possible, spacesuits are getting a major upgrade.
These new suits will give astronauts the superpower to do more for longer and I am one of the first civilians to put one on.
In this video, we're taking you behind the scenes to show you how they're designing, building, and testing NASA's new spacesuits.
I'm going to put myself and this suit to the test to give you a sneak peek into what it looks like, what it feels like, and how it might change what humanity can do in space... "Ignition sequence starts... " "Liftoff!
We have a liftoff!" "Altitude: 1600." "The eagle has landed... " "That's one small step for man... " ... one giant step for Huge If True!
