    “Meanwhile, living conditions in Russia are not so different from living conditions on the Moon . . . Life in Russia differs from life in future colonies on the Moon only in that in Russia almost every year there is summer, a short period of time when you can go outside without a protective suit . . .”

    Climate change has taken away another beautiful vision of communist optimism.

      I mean you could just change it to this:

      Life in the subtropics differs from life in future colonies on Mercury only in that in Florida almost every year there is winter, a short period of time when you can go outside without a protective suit

      Like, there’s definitely a use case for a “space” suit that dehumidifies and cools you. They already make silly outfits with integrated fans in them.
