<p>Few astronauts have captured our national imagination more than Buzz Lightyear, the delightful spaceman superhero character in the classic animated film <em>Toy Story</em>. It appears that NASA's designers are also big fans of the Pixar flick, as it recently <a href="http://movies.yahoo.com/news/nasas-next-generation-spacesuit-looks-buzz-lightyear-050000433.html">released</a> photos of its newest spacesuit, and it looks suspiciously similar to the one worn by Buzz.</p>
<p><!--more-->It's called the Z-1 Prototype Spacesuit and Portable Life Support System 2.0, and it was <a href="http://techland.time.com/2012/11/01/best-inventions-of-the-year-2012/slide/nasas-z-1-space-suit/">named</a> one of <em>Time</em>'s greatest inventions of the year. It's designed to take astronauts safely into deep space--oh, and did we mention it looks fly as hell? The suit is all white with lime green accents and a gigantic transparent dome helmet.</p>
<p>The Hollywood Reporter <a href="http://movies.yahoo.com/news/nasas-next-generation-spacesuit-looks-buzz-lightyear-050000433.html">points</a> out that this isn't the only Buzz-themed NASA product; the organization has also <a href="http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/research/experiments/Buzz_Lightyear.html#description">worked</a> with Disney to develop space-themed games that can help kids learn about space exploration.</p>
<p>To infinity and... okay, you get it.</p>
