That is certainly one technology that hasn’t advanced at all. I hope they figure something out. Can’t lug 500 pounds around with you everywhere, and it always pains me to see the spacewalkers having to use a wrench or whatever in those big, bulky gloves. Impossible here on earth, certainly impossible in zero gravity.

As a Doc Smith fan I would have to prefer about 100 tons of material between me and the vacuum.
