He's a meme because the united states government has been going to space every year for the past 50 years, has so many satellites in orbit its ungodly and it's widely speculated that they not only have nukes in orbital, but also have stations on the far side of the moon.

Only 1/100th of nasa documents are ever declassified and released under the freedom of information act, and the rest consume a large sum to the tune of billions per annum in the black budget.

His space program is a meme, because it can't compete with the military industrial complex of the most powerful nation's military research program in known history - and the fact that its space research division (NASA), is planning a breakaway civilization from humanity on MARS, utilizing cutting edge classified technology to terraform MARS; that's why.

Maybe on the ISS, but the suit is for safety on the way up and down. The Russians lost three people when a valve failed to close and the cabin depressurized. There have been other accidents with the Apollo-Soyuz when nitrogen tetroxide made it into the crew cabin, poisoning the crew. Given the extremely high safety requirements set for commercial crew, the suits are absolutely necessary.

The suit is worn during launch and reentry. Once the craft is in orbit you can wear whatever you want. Unless you are on the ISS and another ship docks. Then you usually wear a cheap face mask and maybe goggles so that and irritants in the new spacecraft don't irritate your eyes/nose/mouth until they circulate through the system

Musk put one on at a press conference last week I think and he got attached. The suit got creampied, with him in it, from both ends until the guy was mechanically separated and escorted out of the bathroom and into a waiting Tesla.

Both life support ports were plugged while Musk panicked and had to breath in through the semen filling he had just received.

Luckily the jaws of life were on hand to extract Musk who was whisked to the hospital in a Tesla but not until it after it was realized that both Musk and his creampier were put the same Tesla.

By the time this was realized the attack had again mounted Musk and was attempting to creampie him a third time before he was again pried off Musk and this time whisked away in a different Tesla.
