Talking of vacuums and the like reminds of something I saw in the EMU.
They had prepared a bit of a leaf for the electro-microscope - gold plating
it and then putting it in a vacuum chamber. To our surprise we saw an a small bug
was still on the leaf - which proply decided to try to walk away; it didn't
last long once it was hit by the electro-beam...
Having seem this - the idea if sign tigh suits make a lot more sense. But
bugs do had the advangate that his lungs (or what ever they are) are simplier
and can survive decompression much easier.
