If they launch, the highlight of the mission will be the first spacewalk composed entirely of non-professional astronauts, who will be wearing sleek, newly developed SpaceX extravehicular activity (EVA) suits outfitted with heads-up displays, helmet cameras, and an advanced joint mobility system.

The spacesuits kind of a step backwards in a sort of way as they are less capable than the Apollo spacesuits. Although they look cooler.

They are good for doing EVAs which consist of "ooh look I'm in spacccce", but a pretty useless if you need to do actual work in them.
