Elon Musk posted the photo on his Instagram early Wednesday morning, noting that it's not a mock-up suit - it actually works. 

"Worth noting that this actually works (not a mockup)," Musk wrote. "Already tested to double vacuum pressure. Was incredibly hard to balance esthetics and function. Easy to do either separately."

Musk's SpaceX has an ambitious plan to send humans to space by 2025 inside the company's Crew Dragon spacecraft, which has been used to transport cargo to the International Space Station in 2012. SpaceX is currently in the process of modifying the Dragon to accommodate a crew.
