Since this mission is so EVA-heavy, many readers might be wondering about the makeup of the astronauts' spacesuits.
NASA's website offers an interesting feature called "The Clickable Spacesuit," which allows Web surfers to learn about each part of the EVA suit by either part or name. The site also features a kid-friendly section called "About Spacesuits," which offers a nifty slide presentation summing up the basic funtions of the EVA get-ups.
The more you know about this fantastic technology, the more you can appreciate the work done outside the Shuttle and Station-- so check it out.
