00:00You work in spacesuits because you're very passionate about spacesuits and Prada is very passionate about what they do and
00:04they do so much material science and advanced development on materials that it's very similar to what we do.
00:13Think about the suit that you saw when we went to the moon many, many years ago. They were bouncing
00:19around. They didn't have a lot of tasks they had to do. They weren't on the lunar surface very long.
00:24Now those requirements are more challenging.
00:26It's be on the lunar surface longer, have more mobility, have more safety and now we are having to build
00:32those things into the suit that weren't there before.
00:36We've added a lot of mobility so that the astronauts can do things like squat or lunge and do work
00:43as if they don't have a suit on, not worry about the suit, not worry about safety and just do
00:47their job.
00:48The stakes are just so much different. If somebody's pants split, they're going to be embarrassed but largely everybody's going
