Through an Instagram post, Musk showed off the new astronaut suit, standing next to the company's Crew Dragon capsule. Earlier in August, Musk unveiled a photo of the top portion of the spacesuit, showing its tinted helmet and chic black and white design, and noting it was "not a mockup" and there would be more images on the way.
Acting on his promise, Musk over the weekend posted a full-length shot of the new suit.
