Homo Scaphandricus appeared in my life on Iturup island*.
We can say, it has landed. Then I was meeting a cosmonaut.
The cosmonauts not only are familiar with space suit physiologically. They turned out to be a step ahead
of mankind forcedly.
According to cosmonauts, in particular have been perceiving the space suit as a natural extension
of Homo Sapiens for a long time. It is perceived as a kind
of Exo-skeleton. While a layman is perceiving the space suit
as a fancy device with a very limited area of application, the space suit is incomparably more ambitious subject having integrity and soon it will become natural
and insignificant part of the existence.
The origin and materialization of Homo Scaphandricus
is a topic deserving of close attention. And, of course,
it would be annoying if all this is idle tale of bored space traveler.
*A name of Iturup island in translation from the Ainu language is “jellyfish”.
