I had no idea CamelBak’s bite valve is used in NASA’s space suits. Well, CamelBak is proud if their tech gets out into space and wanted to make sure we all knew about it, too. So they somehow backdoored their way into the Johnson Space Center to see how NASA uses their gear. (I bet the real story was more like some CamelBak employees were all hopped up on Orange Alert Elixir and jumped the fence during a road trip to Mardi Gras … ) Well, there are some probing questions and some cool footage of the space suits getting assembled and fitted.\u00a0 So give it a watch and learn something that may come in handy during the next awkward conversational pause between you and your barber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
