I don't think the number of EVA's per suit is working as assummed. NASA's suits were suposed to last for 25 EVA's I believe.

I remember reading that the Russian space suit was the reason women cosmonauts were not considered for missions. There was a time that 90% of Japanese men didn't meet minimal height for a medium size space suit too. That was a while back and things have changed and it sounds like there is room for improvement for all.

This is the second time that there will be nobody inside the station to support them. This would be a perfect time for a robot assist on the EVA.
