why is the octocat wearing a space helmet if there are plants growing below it? what happened on this planet to make the air unbreathable?

Some kind of chernobyl event, possibly caused by the ICBMs in the globe image?

What is the octocat standing on top of? Abandoned silo? Or live silo about to go hot?

Perhaps the Octocat is following interplanetary hygiene best practices during their visit to Earth from the Octoplanet. [1]

octocat prime directive is 'helmet stays on'

Maybe the plants are grown in a CO2 rich environment, so that extra O2 isn't wasted where it's not needed.
