\*\*NASA Searches for New Spacesuit Tailors \*\*

> [@](#):
>
> NASA is looking for a new space tailor to design and build the spacesuits to be worn by future astronauts as they bounce around the surface of the moon.
> 
> The U.S. agency called on prospective spacesuit designers Tuesday to submit proposals for spaceworthy duds flexible enough to allow astronauts to work outside NASA’s future Orion Crew Exploration Vehicle (CEV) or on the lunar surface.
