Possible i could hang out with Lila as she was about to go thru hypoxia training in the altitude chamber and she wears a pair of pilot gloves while going thru that? I was hoping to be friends with her while she is fully geared up and has her hood/oxygen mask combo being worn. That is if you RP of course.

At a glance in my watch list, the thumbnail looked like she was resting her hands on a gigantic pregnant belly. The helmet makes more sense.

Great work!
Regarding the unscientific bits, you could be surprised in how close we are to achieve some of those elements, like the gloves. There are companies working on it and they are making some interesting advancements. It might not appear in the near future, but it will most probably appear eventually. After all necessity brings invention, right?

Maybe, but you might be less far from the mark than you might have thought.

Sci-fi does not have to follow scientifically correct, especially since it usually pertains to the future and therefore we could not reasonably argue that what you create would not be possible if we do not know the technological advances of that theoretic future.
All that aside, great work! Love all the details, especially the changes in textures, like the thick padded areas around the neck and shoulder, and the elastic looking cinches at the joints, and the way the hard parts conect to one another to make a believable structural piece.
Very nice!

Yeah, modern astronauts would kill for gloves that slim.

Its the Holy Grail of space suits: something slim and dexterous, but able to hold pressure and offer protection to the vacuum and radiation of space. Its a major step before we head to Mars, because the current suits they use are...well...
Heavy is such a small word for them...

There are companies working on suits that rely on mechanical pressure for all parts of the body except the head, instead of atmospheric pressure. Very slim and body-hugging.

And yet still I imagine the first picture from Mars will show a ton of commercial advertising.
"This is one small step for mankind, and one giant leap for the Cocoa Cola Corporation."

I don't mind it being commercialized if we can manage to send people or colonize Mars in my life time

well maybe in the future they are able to create fabric that can serve as both pressurized inner layer and outer protective layer,
but the honest reason is I don't want her to have thick fingers
