Nobody has ever answered the question: What if you fart inside your space suit? Sorry ... but it has been answered. The answer is you smell it. For a long time.

Doesn’t require an answer. It’s self evident
If you smelt it you dealt it

I wouldn’t want to be wearing a black suit in outer space unless I was hoping nobody could ever find me if I got loose somehow.

https://www.discovermagazine.com/the-sciences/farts-an-underappreciated-threat-to-astronautsOn Earth, farts are typically no big deal — smelly, harmless, and they quickly dissipate. But if you’re an astronaut, every fart is a ticking time bomb. The gases in farts are flammable, which can quickly become a problem in a tiny pressurized capsule in the middle of space where your fart gases have no where to go. In this “oldie but goodie” study from the late 1960s, scientists fed subjects a then-state-of-the-art space diet compared with a “bland formula.” They discovered that the space diet actually produced more gas than the control diet, and noted that “volumes would be larger at reduced spacecraft and suit pressures.” This explains why astronaut food doesn’t include freeze-dried beans…

With the unfiltered rays of the sun that suit will overheat in minutes. Stupid move!

I'd like to see how they approached the glove problem. You can work around other issues like O2 pre-breathing and personal relief by using a hard suit design and diapers. The manual manipulators i.e. gloves, however, has always been a b&^ch. Trying to provide manipulative dexterity with environmental protection is a challenge. Current ISS crew struggle with moving their fingers against suit pressure and tend to lose fingernails during EVAs due to rubbing angainst the metal tips.
Useful space gloves... aye, there's the rub.
To: Red Badger
Is this the inside suit? The suits should be white to reflect the sun.

They aren’t weightless in the lunar surface because there is partial gravity on the moon.
