Exactly - it's not even a great test of the suits. It's a stage show, completely divorced from reality, for the NASA faithful.

How are they testing the oxygen equipment? A bench test is not as good as a real life test. If they aren't confident enough to test it in a pool with real people, why are they comfortable sending it off into space with the same?
