Whether *two* suits are : worthwhile is another question. At least two considerations here. One, if our flight is volume limited rather than weight limited, we're not penalized at all. Two, even if we're weight limited, I'd be a lot happier as a space walker if I thought it was at all possible to rescue me. I doubt it is possible with a single suit. It might just be possible to maneuver the shuttle lock around a comatose astronaut, but I doubt that they could close the outer door from inside the cabin. Anybody know fer sure?
