re: Spacesuits on the Moon
I don't think it is a maybe, but a when you will have a spacesuit failure on the Moon. The person in a pressure suit will very probably die and it won't matter if they where on the Moon or Mars.
Mars needs a MLDEF just as much as the Moon needs a LLDEF.
Again I suggest folks read this paper: The Effects of Lunar Dust on EVA Systems During the Apollo Missions"".
