After years of futility, NASA turns to private sector for spacesuit help

From Ars Technica:
"This week NASA's Johnson Space Center issued a call to industry for new spacesuits. The space agency's existing suits are decades old, and new ones are needed both for the International Space Station as well as Artemis missions to the lunar surface later this decade."
