We didn’t. We just didn’t care back then. *puts a dog in the suit* -- nm - Will Hunting May 27, 11:42

If I had a GIF of that Space Force scene where the monkey floats the bone to the dog I would post it here. -- nm - Spawn May 27, 11:37
Partially this. Partially if things go correctly, it won't matter if they work or not (no spacewalk) and mainly cause we can simulate space - JD May 27, 11:34 3
- These suits are not meant for spacewalks. The EVA suits have beefed up insulation, HVAC systems, and reflective visors. - TWuG May 27, 11:48 2
  - Exactly 8-) That was my mangled point. These suits won't be called into service at all when things go according to plan - JD May 27, 11:54 1
    - These suits are pressurized and would protect the astronauts from a loss of atmosphere in the capsule or ISS, but couldn't withstand - TWuG May 27, 11:57
Seriously, I believe they test them in a vacuum chamber. Amongst other things. -- nm - VMan May 27, 11:32
Here's a roll of duct tape. Just in case. -- nm - Spacesuit Developer May 27, 11:31
