Artemis Crew Face Mobility and Dust Challenges That Deep-Sea Tech Could Solve

An opinion piece by Dennis Meredith argues that NASA’s Artemis program should look to deep-sea exploration for solutions to current spacesuit limitations. The author notes that current bulky suits restrict astronaut mobility, limit task time, and allow hazardous lunar dust to enter capsules. He suggests that technologies developed for high-pressure, confined deep-sea environments could offer better design principles for future lunar operations.
