Kerbals have made a hybrid EVA thrust and waste system utilizing the gas emissions from snack consumption.

[@vitaurea]

I mean, you could make hydrogen from methane and oxygen from CO² but... Why tho?

[@azuritet3]

Kerbals are lead based organisms, which explains why they are so heavy, they emit tetraethyl lead fumes. And their skin contains lead cromate pigment, which explains why they are green even though they don't photosynthesize.

[@alexsiemers7898]

AzuriteT3 do they weigh a lot even without the EVA suit?

[@azuritet3]

@@alexsiemers7898 yes. taking into account the difference in height and assuming a similar thickness of material to the real world, there is still a discrepancy in their weight. This could be explained by the inclusion of lead in their biology which, if 18% like carbon, being 13 times heavier would make up the difference... approximately, and I do mean very approximately.

Don't worry, Kerbals love being in space. No matter if they are stranded with no hope of rescue, just being in space makes them smile.

Now, if I could just use the ratio of the Mun's mass to Kerbin's, it may be possible to calculate the ideal mass of an item that could orbit a fully-suited kerbal."

[@henkilepsilon6396]

I don't know if its physically possible, but I'm starting to think it won't be long before you'll build a ship that can reach LKO, and have that ship be light enough to carry.

[@gemdragon8984]

there is an exploit involving the use of the eva pack to push a craft around in orbit. All you have to do is bring an indoor command pod of some type along with your craft and then just use the EVA pack to push said craft. When low on fuel, just go back into the command pod, then disembark for more free fuel

[@mavrik104]

I've lost count of how many command pods I had to de-orbit with said method......

Wouldn't 1x Doughnut + 1x Baguette fuel tank (total capacity 51.3 units, 5 kg less dry mass) be a more efficient way to get the 48 units of fuel you need? 2x Baguette (48.6) and 1x Oscar-B + 3x Dumpling (47.7) also seem like possibilities if the aerodynamics work out.

1:39 maybe they just use some hypergolic monopropellant (like for RCS system) with isp exceeding 200s and 1,5 wet/dry mass ratio. This should give a delta V of 600-700 m/s. MMU on the other hand is propelled by gaseous nitrogen with much lower isp and much lower mass ratio.

In 1.0.5, EVA re-entry is possible. I’m not sure if you’d be able to do it with that little fuel in your EVA pack, but you might as well give it a shot.
