Tis true, but I'm not sure we all want to go out into the garden looking
like Michael Jackson. Safe I like, but that's a safeness too
far. Not sure I liked the greenhosue in that link, either ;~).
A gold fish would be happy in the helmet. I'd never thought of an
astronaut having to sit in a vacuum chamber to test the suit. What
happens if the test fails? Desiccated astronaut?
It is much easier to let the air back into a test chamber than to get
air into space.
How about testing the suit for leaks in a vacuum chamber with the astronaut not
in the suit?
They might be testing for other things as well as airtightness.
Indeed they are. Have a look at the Samantha Cristoforetti Log Book
post that the picture comes from.
