Nano-carbon smart AI Stockings

Stockings have always been a girl's best friend. From time immemorial until today in the Earth Year 5725, stockings have served a plethora of purposes. During historical pre-industrial times they marked a young ladies's virtue. Only an unchaste girl would go without stockings or allow some rakish ne'er-do-well to untie her garters. In later times stockings became a mark of class distinction where wealthier women would wear them, leaving the lower class girls to get by with mere socks. When humanity took to the stars, stockings came with the brave women who ventured forth into the void.

Even now in the Earth year 5725 far out in the Perseus Arm within the Auriga Cluster of stars the women there have nano-carbon smart AI stockings. Perfectly engineered for the cold depths of space. Nano-carbon smart AI stockings through a medical software suite gently massage the legs increasing circulation and blood flow which helps to prevent clotting and the pooling of fluids reducing the chance of edema in zero gravity. These stockings furthermore have a shock gel that will cushion the knees and legs in the event of a fall. The same gel will also be used to seal a suit breach in the legs. As the legs are the most likely to be punctured when exploring a new planet or celestial body.

Nano-carbon smart AI stockings can also be worn without a vacuum suit. Often they are worn as leisure wear when on board a ship or station. The smart material being able to create a slight magnetic charge to allow movement without the need of heavy magnetic boots. A few intrepid explorers will have their smart stockings firm up the foot to use them as a boot.

There is talk of using the stockings as a foundation to create a full body glove. A single piece suit that will protect and keep the wearer alive. Research is on going.
