Research has gone on for decades for spacesuits that only need to provide air pressure around the head and give the rest of the body full range of movement. MIT has just about cracked it, the thing works pretty damn well in a vacuum chamber (except for the hands and feet), but God knows how long before one's actually certified for use in space.
