It seems very rigid, but it's also much less bulky than the current ISS EVA suit...

Rigid means higher air pressure which means less time in the airlock meaning longer missions.

But it also means little freedom to move. There are a lot of tasks they can’t perform in those suits.

Also thermal management seemed to be an issue, as they were restricted to operate in the shadow of the spacecraft.

Good for a v0.1 beta.
