Yeah fuck it I'm with Alexander Lazarevich at this point. Let's all just wear spacesuits. I'm sure the kids will think they're cool.

“Meanwhile, living conditions in Russia are not so different from living conditions on the Moon . . . Life in Russia differs from life in future colonies on the Moon only in that in Russia almost every year there is summer, a short period of time when you can go outside without a protective suit . . .”

Climate change has taken away another beautiful vision of communist optimism.

I mean you could just change it to this:

Life in the subtropics differs from life in future colonies on Mercury only in that in Florida almost every year there is winter, a short period of time when you can go outside without a protective suit

Like, there's definitely a use case for a "space" suit that dehumidifies and cools you. They already make silly outfits with integrated fans in them.
