Hello everybody,I am actually looking for some information on the space suits:As I am studying the breathing system, I would be glad to have some more knowledge on this.I know there are different space suits depending on the country, however I don't know if the breathing system is different. If so, I would be happy to know these differences.Every pieces of advice you got will really help me.I also need details such as formulas:(for example : 2(LiOH, H2O) + CO2 ---> LiCo3 + 3H2O)Any websites about this are welcomed. What in your opinion could make this breathing system better?Do you have any ideas on the possible future improvements?Still concerning the space suit equipments, I needed some information about the pressure system.First of all, I don’t really know if it works the same way for the different space suits.The pressure in the space suit is lower than on Earth, is there a consequence on the human using it?How does it work, how is it possible to lower the pressure in the space suit?If you have any more information about pressure, such as pressure in space compared to pressure on Earth, or just interesting websites … that will be really helpfulThanks !(Please forgive the mistakes I made as English isn't my first language)
Hey! Are the people allowed to just take Space Walks for "fun"?
What's the betting that the Russians will allow one of their guests to take a wholly recreational spacewalk, if paid to do so? Having said that, however, most of their 'guests' would be likely to spend their time working during such an EVA, though perhaps not on engineering tasks. And some of the tasks performed by professional astronauts during EVAs have not been exactly, er, professional - look at some of the Russian EVA stunts.Look back too at the early US EVAs on MIR, and ask what the NASA guys actually did. Taping off controls in the airlock implies a tourist status to me!And as for a certain Lunar golfer...

Or whatever undisclosed accident left Mir's airlock outer hatch in a state where it would only hold pressure with the help of a handy C-clamp.
I'd be thinking of Romanov and Grechko nearly floating out of Salyut 6's airlock and away from the station -- untethered.
