What is needed is something like eagle's feet for grasping things in
zero G and giving the astronauts a firm support to work with their arms.
And I'm not just referring to the spacesuits either; it would be best if
the astronauts had these as parts of their actual bodies via genetic
manipulation.
This may sound far-fetched, but if we don't start breeding babies with
bird feet on them, the Chinese almost certainly will, thereby taking the
high ground...or high perch...in space. ;-)
