In any case well protected for the case someone tampers with the airlock or something other removes the atmosphere in the station.

Hehe. No faster way to dress up than to already be dressed up.

i would wear one constantly too tbh :3

If im honest, im not so sure about that myself with a full-on EVA suit. But I know there are these lighter indoor versions astronauts are often wearing, those seem adequate.

Plus it means they're prepared in case a window decides to fracture, or some other unexpected event :)

Well prepared for an emergency. Not so much prepared for pretty much any menial day to day task :P

Well, at least this birb considers it worth it.

Actually I never bothered to check if space suits feel soft when wearing.

I always assumed they would be bulky, cumbersome, awkward to use in earth gravity, and the apparent softness came from the air inside expanding in the vacuum.



Also, judging by the curved floor you seem to be on a spin gravity module in this pic. What's the radius of that spin gravity section, because the floor looks to be curved a fair deal?

I have no clue how soft these suits are either. I was just pondering the same question because the customer requested that line to be included in the artwork.

Sure they would be cumbersome, but as you noticed, I implied spin gravity in this image. And most near-future spin gravity concepts simulate gravity from 0.1g at the lower end up to 0.5 g at the max. So a far deal from earth gravity. So moving around should be less of an issue I assume.

I didn’t do any math, I just wanted to show a small curvature to convey the idea of spin gravity. I feared less curvature might not be noticeable by a layman observer.

Sounds understandable. And would wear the spacesuit indoors too. I heard they can inflate too?

Currently operated spacesuits usually operate at much less pressure than we have on earths sea level. (around 1/3 and pure oxygen I believe, not sure about the specifics tho.) They inflate during an EVA because on the outside is a vacuum. Any pressure on the inside of the suit will cause the fabric to inflate outward. (Inside the space station that wouldn’t happen realistically, but obviously drawing it drooping down wasn’t an option for this commission.)
