NASA Astronauts Are Starting To Look Like Toy Story’s Buzz Lightyear

To infinity and beyond!

Recommended Videos

NASA did have an astronaut named Buzz so maybe this new spacesuit is more appropriate than we thought. You’re looking at the Z-1 Prototype Spacesuit and Portable Life Support System 2.0, aka a real space suit that looks a lot like Toy Story’s Buzz Lightyear. THR writes, “And this isn’t the only Buzz Lightyear/NASA crossover: Disney and NASA have joined forces to develop hands-on educational activities and exhibits centered around the character’s fictional voyage to, and 450 days spent living inside, the International Space Station.”
