  • There is no vacuum chamber on earth capable of testing suits at those vacuum levels.
  • Traditional rubber type seals do not work at those vacuum levels.

This issue really brings out the trolls because it is a hard problem unresolved by NASA.

There is no vacuum chamber on earth capable of testing suits at those vacuum levels.

There is no need to do that at all. "vacuum level" of 1e-11 torr is not noticeably different from vacuum of 0.1 torr from the material strength science point of view.

It is like difference between 99.9999 purity gold bar and 99.99999999999999 purity gold bar. You will not find any measureable difference in mechanical properties of that gold bars.

Traditional rubber type seals do not work at those vacuum levels.

Bullshit. Anything more or less elastic will perfectly work at this levels for containig atmosphere.

Problems with high vacuum is in no way connected with any imaginary dectructive properties of high vacuum. Problems about keeping high vacuum pure enough in some applications like electron microscopy, ion spectroscopy and so on. It is about protection of vacuum, not about any damage to rubber.

Rubber, silicone and other elastic gaskets usualy made using lubricants or thinners. In any vacuum, just like in regualr air this lubricants or thinners will evapourate. It absolutely does not matter if it happen in space, but that lubricant or thinner molecules in some high vacuum precision device could ruin the day.

For space suits, spacecrafts and all that stuff vacuum in space is just 1 bar pressure difference and nothing more. Regardless of how low torr value you have.

Bicyle tire seals withstand a greater pressure difference than that.

You are full of shit.
