Kinda opposite pressure gradient and thermal exchange possibilities
Robots on the Moon make much more sense for most tasks. Astronauts should sit inside the hab and use Playstation or xbox controllers to do most of the outside work.
> Former astronauts who have done spacewalks and studied the Artemis spacesuits don’t have much good to say about them. In a presentation to the National Academies, former astronaut Kate Rubin said “When we get to the lunar surface, people are going to be sleep shifting. They’re barely going to get any sleep. They’re going to be in these suits for eight or nine hours. They’re going to be doing EVAs every day. The EVAs that I did on my flights, it was like doing a marathon and then doing another marathon when you were done.”
> She added, “I think the suits are better than Apollo, but I don’t think they are great right now. They still have a lot of flexibility issues. Bending down to pick up rocks is hard. The center of gravity is an issue. People are going to be falling over. I think when we say these suits aren’t bad, it’s because the suits have been so horrible that when we get something slightly less than horrible, we get all excited and we celebrate.”
Hopefully they can learn from the Titan submersible then

Space and the deep sea are like mirror images of each other….similar in some ways, the opposite in others. And I don’t just mean the pressure levels. It’s much, much easier and cheaper to get something to the deep sea…you basically just weight it, tie it to a rope, and drop it off a boat. But it’s much easier to maintain a 1 atmosphere cabin in space than in the deep sea. Heat disposal is easy underwater but hard in space, while space provides abundant solar power which is harder to come by in the water.
I mean, it already does.
Oceaneering is a big contractor at JSC. The main side of the company does deep sea operations, which is big, big business in the energy sector in Houston.
Deep Sea exploration should be funded more then space agencies, the discovery of hydrothermal microbes is how we know we even know microbes can survive under icy moons.
