Those are good ideas, thank you!
I'm also assuming that to operate around Jupiter, we are going to need space suits with an inch or two of built-in shielding. Cosmic rays are probably not an issue there, but trapped particles certainly are! That means the suits are going to have to be massive, and probably have integrated joint actuators so you can still move around. Yes, I'm proposing power suits. But if anybody can dig up any sober proposals or info along these lines, please let me know.
What else can anyone think of for getting around & working in the outer solar system?
