Inflatable Clothing

Hi, Space Cadettes! Spacegirl Molly here with another safety tip!

Loss of cabin pressure during lift-off is one of the hazards of space flight. That's why you should always remember to fully inflate your flight suit before blasting off- because when blown up to full pressure, it will contain enough air for you to breathe normally for at least three minutes in the event  of an emergency like a blown canopy seal or an oxygen system malfunction. In addition, it will comfortably cushion you against the shock of main booster ignition and first stage separation.
