Yes, and I don't think they actually consulted Clark on the requirements for a space dive. Nor does it follow he knows what the requirements actually are yet.

So you think the suit they show is viable? What densities do you think the atmosphere is at at 60 miles to the ground that would support the fins shown in the artwork. They would work fine in water or in Venus' atmosphere...I'm sure.
