Badly needed to update Talita's spacesuit ref, the old one was from before I figured out how I wanted to draw centaurs. I still need to fiddle with the details and figure out the connection point for the liquid cooling system between the two body pieces but this is the gist of it. The nose of the helmet can be swapped out for a longer one when she has antlers.

The fall harness has two attachment points with two industrial grade retractable-cable fall arrestors because she's 750 kilos and works mostly around human equipment, which is not always well designed to handle workers the size of a draft horse. I was also concerned about whiplash on the upper torso from a fall, which is why there is a Y shaped attachment there, to keep the upper body from snapping forward.  Her spine is a lot longer and more flexible than a human's, trying to figure out suspension without limiting her flexibility is tricky. It is designed to keep her safe(r) while working on lifts and scaffolding, suspension in this would not be very comfortable but it's better than falling to death.

Yeah, my SO works in construction and he's seen people get saved by a fall harness. It still hurts, but it's a lot better then just falling. If you hit it just wrong or against something else though you still might have to go to the hospital.

Oof yeah I took a fall once while wearing a harness on a high-wire, was not pleasant on the groin.

can Talita reach the control panel if her hand is carrying something? I know her range of motion gives her an extra segment compared to a human's arms, but idk if they're that flexible in her suit. also, as a centaur, how susceptible to cosmic radiation is she? I know most humans have been modified to an extent for that type of stuff, but centaurs are not. I was wondering if her species has a radiation limit or if that type of stuff is even known. Human's (unmodified) limits are about 5,000 Millirems (but that's playing it safe) and my dad, a pilot, reaches that level pretty consistently. So I was thinking, is her suit designed to deflect or absorb radiation if radiation is an unknown for her species?

Not Jay but iirc Talita designs and makes most of her own clothes, and I think that includes the suit
