It’s not “some body,” it’s actually the cloud layer of Saturn. And yes, you wouldn’t need a pressure suit at that location, just oxygen mask and cold weather gear because the pressure at that point (400 millibar up to 4-10 bar) is Earth-like! The author of that video was, in fact, intentionally using a fur lined coat/hood/hat to underscore the fact that the pressure is Earth-like at the Saturn cloud layer and the coat is not a pressure suit but just insulation.

So it was intentional and accurate (or, rather, a possibility), not an unscientific mistake.

Yes, Yes, I got that. (With the atmosphere etc)

But really.. I'd expect some hightech fleece instead, maybe with a hexagonal weave pattern in it, or such.

Space, the final frontier...

Do you really think they will/should 'ride' there in some rattling rocket, between shaking cargo crates in mesh nets, with clothing from military surplus?

SPACE should look like the highest technology ever. In all aspects PERIOD
