      British Interplanetary Society

      Um, what?

      The British Interplanetary Society (BIS), founded in Liverpool in 1933 by Philip E. Cleator, is the oldest existing space advocacy organisation in the world. Its aim is exclusively to support and promote astronautics and space exploration.

    To me, this suit looks like its part of the toilet. My worry was that my kids would make me get one.
