Wannabe Astronaut Makes Good Use of Suit

What happens when you suddenly find yourself the lucky owner of a Russian high altitude space suit? Tim Dodd puts his newfound treasure as the highlight of a series “A day in the life of Everyday Astronaut.” The event and travel photographer from Iowa captures some funny images of himself performing mundane tasks while wearing the retro space suit. In speculation, the photographs show what day to day would be like for someone who aspired and obsessed to be an astronaut whose dreams didn’t pan out like he expected.

According to Dodd, “I first and foremost wanted to do something ridiculous, creative, and silly with the suit. The further and further I got into it, I realized I was basically projecting my inner child onto this character. I was buying all the toys and silly things I would’ve loved as a 9-year-old and interacting with them as the Everyday Astronaut in a similar manner.”
