Space Diving in Popular Science

The paper version has a "nice" article on Space Diving.

Ridiculous spacesuits with little fins detailed.

They noticeable have not (it would seem) done any actual research on the subject before writing the article. They have people using a small single drogue chute and a regular main chute...like that would work...
