Good example of how a design that excels in one environment would be a disaster in a different environment.

Biggest omission: Binoculars for the operator to see what the waldos are working on ten feet away. Can you imagine repairing Hubble in that rig?

I enjoyed the von Braun video, and I had to laugh when he held up a model of that...can, and teased out one of the arms to reveal a human-hand-shaped manipulator on the end. Subconsciously they understood the problem.

I think microgravity supports the evolution of ever-lighter spacesuits, till we achieve that science-fiction trope, the force-field skinsuit. Astronauts go outside most often to do hands-on work, often in tight quarters (the NASA video has an image of an astronaut entirely inside Hubble, snaked inside a compartment to swap out some equipment; you couldn't get the can into a space like that). I'm reminded that Alexei Leonov's historic space walk almost ended in disaster when he couldn't get his inflated suit back inside his capsule. Flexibility and compactness is the holy grail in an EVA suit.

But then, I prefer to skinny-dip when possible. No encumbrances for me when I'm floating on the water. I think in space I'd want the least obtrusive spacesuit possible to fully experience floating in space.
