not far from crowds of shoppers and rows of brownstones... ted southern is putting on his space suit.southern says: so once i get this far into the suit, you really face commitment. it's a prototype of the suit he hopes to sell to the handful of companies planning to fly tourists into space.southern says: they'll concentrate a lot on their capsule and the rocket. but the space suit is often, you know, a secondary thought. (08) ...which presents an opportunity for southern and his russian business partner --moiseev says: i have developed space suits all my life. a man who claims to be the only person to test just about every space suit ever made. they work out of a small office in nondescript building... designing a suit they tell us is more ácomfortableá and áaffordableá than those the astronauts have traditionally worn.moiseev says: the cheapest suit, reliable, and lightweight. jones says: it's the start of a new era in space exploration, and it's a very good development for space exploration as a whole.

experts say these smaller start-ups will end up elping the entire industry.jones says: the more innovation and the more cost-efficiency you bring to the business of space tourism, thaa includes the space suit designs, the better nasa is able to capitalize on those routine services and build on that to get out to the frontier -- back to the moon, to the asteroids and eventually to mars.southern says: i patterned this off of a old prototype apollo com- cap. it's a new frontier for southern... who -- up until now... was better known for designing costumes... including the wingsson victoria's secret runway models. he says this was a natural transition for him. southern says: to me it makes a lot of sense. you're thinking creatively. oftentimes there's a technical problem to solve with costumes -- especially with broadway shows, which need to function day-in and day-out they're still raising money and perfecting designs... but the efforts of private inventors like these could carry all of us into uncharted territory. in new york... shepard smith... fox
