Default _really_ strange space suit

Ah, but that isn't a *regular* space suit. It's just a cheap
*emergency* space suit in case of a loss of cabin pressure. Ordinary
space suits to actually *do* things in will be the more expensive kind
with _two_ legs and _two_ arms.

So it's not really strange if you read the article and take the text
into consideration.
