Thanks! and Surveys
Hello Everybody,
We just wanted to say "thanks" again for making our project happen. We are in hurry up mode now, working to plan out the next six months or so to develop and build our space suit hardware.
We will begin sending out surveys today; the more 'advanced' pledges like comm caps, g pants, and space suits take a little more time to craft an adequate survey for, so please be patient we have not forgotten about you! We hope to live up to our estimated delivery schedule as posted on the project page.
Below is some further press with a couple nice galleries on our project. We're so excited!

Above + Anit-G Pants - Zero Gravity Level: Our custom Anti-G pants provide tight pressure to the flesh and muscle of the legs, to prevent Orthostatic Intolerance- or blacking out- from high G loading.

Above + Helmet and Studio Visit - Suborbital Level: Own a prototype of our space suit helmet with a polycarbonate visor, and visit our Lab for a day. Photo ops available. At the Suborbital Level and above, we are offering real space suit hardware (though it is not flight certified) and therefor are required by the Department of Defense to ensure compliance with the rules and regulations of ITAR, the International Traffic in Arms Regulations. Get your very own, personalized, ITAR paperwork from FFD and participate in the unfortunate militarization of space! Export of hardware or data relating to these components is highly restricted, so be forewarned. US citizenship is generally required; special requests from foreign nationals can be obliged with an additional fee and lots more paperwork…
