So, I’ve been reading about the MIT bio suit. It’s basically a pressurized helmet and gloves, and a fancy fabric suit with bands that squeeze you with enough pressure so decompression doesn’t kill you.

However, since the body is not pressurized, would there be an immediate and constant flow out of your private bits the moment you stepped outside the space ship?

    I think it’s like a third of an atmosphere or something. Enough to comfortably achieve the same partial pressure of oxygen as normal Earth air, by providing it pure.
