The viability of a skintight space suit
+0

This question would be best answered for the time period of our first colonized planet, which will most likely be Mars. With the thinner atmosphere, weaker gravity, low oxygen, and the bodily damage possible from the sun, some sort of protective suit is a must outside of colony pods. But the size of current space worthy suits would hinder in-atmosphere work that requires more delicate handiwork. Not to mention, there is some kind of atmosphere, so a full-on space suite would be a tad bit overkill. So what would be the likelihood of a skintight suit designed only for Mars survival?
