Crowds are flooding through the gates here at Holloman Air Force Base for the Air and Space Expo/X Prize Cup.

Weather is wonderful…surely to get hot a little bit later today.

Early news right off the bat is that Armadillo’s first shot at the Northrop Grumman Lunar Lander Challenge has been delayed this morning. Looks like a later in the day type delay. Word is that the team is experiencing an igniter problem and will require a bit more time to fix the issue.

Fuel was already onboard the vehicle, with venting of the propellant visible once a delay was called.

Meanwhile, Orbital Outfitters unveiled their first commercial spacesuit - an Industrial Suborbital Space Suit-Crew (IS3C). The group’s first customer for the suit is XCOR Aerospace of Mojave, Calif.

Said one astronaut wannabe in waiting in looking at the suit: “It’ll make me look too big.”
