Why do I need to prove your outrageously pessimistic statement wrong? You of all people are not some gold standard of absolute reference. Go prove your own ludicrous contention to be correct just like I proved my point about Goldin with 6 specific examples.
Serious spacesuit engineering R&D has been moribund since the late 60s. An approach with current technologies would not take Billions, that is, not unless Goldin is running it, then you would be correct as it WOULD take years and billions. I assume a mediocre NASA administrator rather than a totally incompetent one like Dan Goldin has proven himself to be with his abyssmal track record.
Beyond straightforward development, there's the very real possibility of skinsuits. See skinsuit post & URL above for more information on this wildcard. Again, this would require a NASA administrator with balls, not a lackey frightened of real innovation, who only funds a glorified SkyLab II and then screws up cost and schedule on a re-make.
