This explains the CO2 tank- he's trying to keep cool.
And also what the other ship is up to...the heating of the Earth's
atmosphere by the swollen sun has driven it so far out that it has
caused the other ship to decay out of orbit around the Moon...the guy
has got the oxygen mask handy, because he's going to be able to breath
using just that in short order- when the giant steam cloud from all the
Earth's vaporizing oceans reaches the Moon and temporarily raises its
surface pressure level to where pressure suits aren't necessary!
Then _another_ giant comet is going to come flying out of Jupiter's
Great Red Spot, fly into the Sun, and cool it down again... just like
Venus did after Atlantis sank! =-O
