Psu: I can start cause I just wanna say two things. One, this is probably the sexiest outfit Cassiopeia's worn yet. And that includes "nothing." And two... how is it that I've only JUST NOW noticed Maddy in the corner after all these years.

Gunwild: She's very sinister and sneaky!

ICS: shows that Maddy should try being a thief too

Psu: Speaking of sneaky, we should point out that IanCSamson over here was responsible for this wonderful guest piece. So welcome to where we chat about Cassiopeia stuff for our Patreon. I was just listening to some podcasts so...  forgive me if I sound like a podcast.

ICS: It was fun to do! I'm now trying to find the art that inspired it - aside from Psu's, of course! - it's been awhile, though, so lets see... ah, if only Tumblr's old likes were easy to navigate through - there was one, but another big one was the Nuka Cola girl from Fallout - always felt like a great outfit that'd fit in quite nicely and I do love silly ol' bubble helmets

Psu: And the Nuka Cola girl was of course a refrence to the old retro sci fi styles that we see from Jetsons era type science fiction. But I would bet Cassiopeia here is being more revealing than your average retro pinup... but I really do like this design. I'm starting to think her outfit works better in white than black.

Gunwild: I'm mostly thinking about how she's breathing in space. Basically any off-the-wall sci-fi idea can be canon in Cassiopeia Quinn, no matter how silly it seems, so let's just say she's been chewing the oxygen-rich gum from DuckTales.

ICS: poor obsolete bubble helm - technology moves so quickly

Psu: Ultra skin tight space suits are the future.

Gunwild: You joke, but they may be, as insulation tech gets better!

Psu: I wasn't joking! There's some science about how tighter suits are potentially the better option than the old bulky gear. It's easier to maintain an atmosphere around a person's head where it's important than it is around the entire body!

Gunwild: Also Ian, bubble helmets make total sense because they offer the biggest field of view. Never feel bad about liking bubble helmets. I'm sure you know, it's just hard to make sure they've got structural integrity, and all.

ICS: hooray for practicality! Now to come up with a reason for the largely transparent material...

Psu: Scientifically speaking that's probably a terrible idea...

Brellom: I am ianCSamson too

Gunwild: Thanks, Ians.

IanCSamson: heh heh heh - s'all good! hope that works!

Psu: Now like any good podcast, we should tell people where they can find Ians.

Gunwild: Yeah, plug yourself and stuff!

IanCSamson: man, I gotta get my site up so I could shill that out. Welp, I'm still on Twitter and Deviantart. And gonna have a new site sometime in the future!

Now you've got me thinking about how a skin-tight space suit might be impossible, since there's no external air pressure to hold it against the skin. The tightness would have to come entirely from the tension in the fabric itself, which would have to provide 1 atmosphere worth of pressure, and it would have to maintain this constant pressure as the fabric stretches and contracts whenever you move. Then when you come out of the vacuum of space, the pressure gets doubled as the actual atmospheric pressure adds to it, and it would need to adjust for that as well. It would probably have to be some kind of adaptive material whose tension can be actively adjusted on the fly to maintain the appropriate pressure. Which of course raises the question of what else one could do with such a technology...

@Ryan - you made a few assumptions there the first being that you need one atmosphere at sea level. A standard modern soft suit is at about 4.3psi which is almost a quarter of sea level which is 14.7psi. There is the Anime "Rocket Girls" that addresses the technology quite well, even though their rocketry has a bit of hand-waving but everything was vetted by JAEA. It is a 3mm thick. Is able to handle cooling while remaining as flexible as skin. The thing to note here as not keeping warm but keeping cool. This is because a vacuum is a great insulator. That is how your lunch thermos bottle works. As for the air pressure thing, the suit only needs air in the helmet due to the suit being directly against the skin and maintaining pressure through the suits highly elastic properties. Think wet suit but not being porous, maintaining temperature, wicking moisture from the skin plus all those built in monitoring sensors. You also got the math wrong on returning to a normal atmosphere since the external pressure goes from zero to 1 while the internal remains the same therefore the suit would go all skin tight but with wrinkles.
