04. When do we need spacesuits? (A K2S Question)

From The Space Library

Jump to: navigation, search

You will need spacesuits only when you venture outside the spacecraft environment and do an extra vehicular activity (EVA). Space is a very unfriendly environment to humans, and a spacesuit is needed to protect you from extremes of heat and cold as well as to provide you with oxygen to breathe.
