Apollo era suits weighed 245 pounds (or 40 pounds in lunar gravity). Suits used on current space shuttle and space station EVAs weigh 195 pounds but are effectively weighless on astronauts. Suits used by shuttle astronauts during ascent and reentry weigh 80 pounds. Suits used by the Russian Federal Space Agency for the soyuz program during ascent and reentry weigh 20 pounds. Suits used by the Chinese space program for EVAs weigh 260 pounds
How have space suits evolved over time?
Firefighters wear protective suits made from fabric originally used in space suits. Nasa has also helped design devices that allow firefighters to avoid injury from inhaling smoke.
the suits have heaters in them

How have space suits evolved over time?
Space suits and space food are specially manufactured. They are not available everywhere but only specific areas.
space suits can withstand minus 250 to 250 degrees fahrenheit
