A space suit is essential for any Rocket Kid planning to explore space. It is necessary for survival since there is no oxygen in space. The picture that correlates to item number six is the standard space suit adopted by the Rocket Kid program. Throughout training you will wear it on various simulations. When it is time for a mission, each Rocket Kid will be given a brand new space suit free of any flaws. I suggest you get comfortable in it here on Earth during training because you must wear it in space.
