What beats all the Halo-inspired Master-whatever Halloween costumes in the works? I wrote a short piece in this month’s Popular Mechanics about MIT’s efforts to create a new space exploration suit for hopping, skipping, and jumping around on Mars. This lightweight, tight-to-body BioSuit uses mechanical pressure instead of gas pressure, so MTV may have to redesign the Spaceman award it gives to the best dancers and lip-synchers each year.
