00:32: This is New Albion on Mars.
00:37: Very few people at New Albion wear space suits.
00:42: We try as much as possible to not go; 'outside' except in a vehicle.
00:48: We have space suits that very closely resemble; those worn in Earth orbit and on Earth's moon.
00:56: These are mostly used for Extra Vehicular; Activity (EVA) in planetary orbit, or
01:03: extremely rarely during interplanetary transit.
01:08: EVA suits must be donned inside a vehicle or; habitat, for passage through an airlock to space.
01:17: An EVA suit wearer is in their suit until; they return through an airlock
01:22: into a pressurised cabin where; they may remove it.
01:26: It's a complicated, slow process.
01:30: On the rare occasion we must work directly; on the Mars surface,
01:35: we're more likely to use a; 'sockpuppet' suit.
01:40: Some of our surface vehicles are equipped with; a tube stowing a concertina-like umbilical
01:45: tunnel through which a user can gain; access to a small cabin.
01:51: The user sits in the cabin which has a; transparent dome and two glove-box-style
01:57: sleeves permitting the user to manipulate; objects outside the vehicle.
02:03: The end-cabin can be moved around by extending; the umbilical tunnel, tentacle-style,
02:10: in combination with a pair of wheels mounted; about where they would be on a wheelchair.
02:17: The sockpuppet suit is similar to the; WASP Atmospheric Diving Suit of Earth,
02:23: except that its user never leaves the; host vehicle envelope.
02:28: The umbilical tunnel facilitates refreshment,; 'comfort breaks', and shift changes
02:34: without the complexity of an airlock.
02:39: Nobody is walking around playing golf in; space suits on the surface of Mars!
