![]() This is a very early reference to the idea of a spacesuit.
Here's an example of the use of the phrase "air-tight suit" in the novel:
The suit was also heated, and had its own supply of air, when disconnected from the spacecraft itself:
Just a few years later, the French movie La Voyage Dans La Lune depicted space suits consisting of conical caps, neck ruffles, and dark robes.

“But,” interrupted the Secretary, “how were you able to pass from one vessel to the other when both were in the vacuum of outer space?” Compare to these other early space suit references; the breathing dress from Honeymoon in Space (1901) by George Griffiths, the pneumatic suit from The Shot into Infinity (1929) by Otto Willi Gail, the space suit from The Emperor of the Stars (1931) by Schachner and Zagat, the altitude suit from The Black Star Passes by John W. Campbell, the Osprey Space Armor from Salvage in Space (1933) by Jack Williamson and the space overalls from Lost Rocket (1941) by Manly Wade Wellman.
