If you thought NASA had finally solved the problem of designing safe and reliable spacesuits for its astronauts, think again. The recent unveiling of the new spacesuits, touted as the next big leap in space technology, has revealed a disturbing truth that NASA and its partners have been hiding from the public: these spacesuits are held together with duct tape.

That's right, the same duct tape that you might use to patch up a leaky pipe or fix a broken car bumper is being used as a makeshift solution to the flaws in the new spacesuit design. According to sources within the industry, the spacesuits are riddled with weak points and vulnerabilities that could put the lives of astronauts in danger. The seams and joints of the suits are so prone to wear and tear that they require a layer of duct tape to hold them together.
