quote:

A member of the expedition walks on the caldera's cooled lava floor, turned red by the reflected glow of the lake. "Down here you feel the volcano," says photographer Carsten Peter. "It's a low-frequency rumbling that pulses through your body—like being inside a giant subwoofer."

And a couple more photos of the same volcano.

I was kinda thinking the same thing, but after I saw the base I thought "Maybe they wouldn't need those on a planet, just in space... :confused:"

Still, damned good paint job.

That golden colour of NASA's spacesuit helmets comes from the thin layer of gold plated on the surface, which helps reflect harmful radiation from the sun (gold is especially good at stopping infrared, but UV is the biggest danger). Think of it like especially strong sunglasses. The Apollo astronauts wore sunglasses with basically the same construction to protect their eyes while they were onboard the spacecraft. I posted a pic a while ago of Buzz Aldrin on Apollo 11, you can see him holding his pair. And assuming that figure is on Mars, yes you would want something to shield your eyes/face from the solar radiation as Mars has a weak atmosphere that doesn't do a good job of filtering the radiation like Earth's does.

It kind of blows my mind that this is a real photo taken onboard the ISS. It looks like something from a science fiction movie.
