[AF] A very interesting fact behind the Apollo Mission to the Moon

[Tom Spencer]

I believe I did say TERRESTRIAL atmosphere - and CO2, being a fairly 
HEAVY gas, would, of course, be retained longer than most other gases...

So, "Green Mars" or "Blue Mars" is just about as much Science Fiction as 
"The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress"....

A 3 PSI differential isn't that much different than a 5 PSI differential 
- in either case, you're hauling around a bulky enviro-pack...

I recall sometime within the past 12 months reading that someone had 
come up with an improved glove for NASA... expanding that improvement to 
the total suit could make improvements in vacuum wear...

Improving the gloves to improve dexterity was a big hurdle.
