So, I’ve been reading about the MIT bio suit. It’s basically a pressurized helmet and gloves, and a fancy fabric suit with bands that squeeze you with enough pressure so decompression doesn’t kill you.
However, since the body is not pressurized, would there be an immediate and constant flow out of your private bits the moment you stepped outside the space ship?
In terms of engineering, it does. Micro meteorite protection and heat management can both be provided by normal garments. UV protection is obviously easy enough too. Breathing gas is a bit less convenient, but still not as tricky as making a suit that’s both rigid enough to reliably hold several PSI in and flexible enough to comfortably work in. That’s why the elastic suits are being researched like they are.
