that many people take for hazmat gear? Not meaning to start anything but I've spent some time in tyveks & think that there would be widespread panic if people were seen walking around the ship in full gear.
Thank you for asking. I was wondering the same thing. When someone says "HAZMAT" gear, I picture Type A, fully encapsulating suits (picture the yellow suited guys from Monsters Inc. who responded to contamination by a human child). On the other hand, it seems common for the public (and the media) to call plain Tyveks "Hazmat" or even "Moon" suits.
