Q: (Initially posted on 10/9/02) FROM MENTEE AMANDA T. IN MO
How do they keep astronauts fingers from freezing and
have the gloves thin enough that they can still work?
My dad who has to cut ice for the cows in below zero
weather would like a pair of those gloves. ;)

Hi Amanda! I live in Minnesota, so having those gloves sounds great!
;-) I went out the NASA website, and looked around. There's some really
neat information about the spacesuits, including some activities that might
be fun! Check out this link:

Here's a page with a bunch of links that look interesting:
