Hockey & Space

Welcome back folks!  Here's a quick space themed post!

Team SpaceX:
This SpaceX concept is based off of the launch suits worn by astronauts in the SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft.

Team NASA:
I made a NASA concept a few years ago, this is the same concept just on a different template.  The design is inspired by NASA's white spacesuits and blue flight-suits.

AstroRad Vest:

Moving on, you'll notice the Tampa Bay Lightning's logo on the AstroRad Vest in the above photo (taken inside the cupola of the International Space Station).  The context is that the Lightning's owner Jeff Vinik invested in the company that made the AstroRad Vest.

Nashville Predators Jersey in Space:
Last but not least, here's a video from 2014 in which NASA astronaut Barry Wilmore was wearing a Nashville Predators during his stay up at the International Space Station (ISS)!

Later this afternoon (at 4:33 pm EDT), NASA and SpaceX will be launching astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley up to the ISS (if the weather cooperates, if not there are back up dates on the 30th and 31st).  The coverage has already begun, so go check that out!
