There will be a need for ultra-simple space suits for either very fast
put-on during emergencies or for transit between pressurized areas that
are very close. This would mean something as simple as goggles for the
sun, a 30 minute air pack with CO2 scrubber and a very baggy "Suit"
with over sized arm and leg extensions. It would be made as one piece
with literally a twist tie just like a trash bag. Make it from coated
Tyvek for puncture resistance and put soles on the feet and it'd be
suitable (pun intended) for short lunar excursions.

Would *you* wear it on the moon?
