Solution
In space, there is no pressure, if we do wear a pressurised suit, our body will die. In space, we have to wear a pressurised suit, otherwise, our body will continue to push out and blow up like a balloon. It would look cool, but we will be dead. So the astronauts in space must wear a pressurised suit (protective suits).
