10. If we take spacewalks and need spacesuits, what does a spacesuit cost? (A K2S Question)

From The Space Library

Jump to: navigation, search

Currently you can't just order a working spacesuit. If you're one of the lucky few who can afford the $20 million to buy a ticket on the Soyuz spacecraft, that price already includes a spacesuit that you would use inside the cabin in an emergency. No one has been able to purchase a fully working spacesuit that would be used on a spacewalk, or extra vehicular activity (EVA), as NASA calls it.
