This is not as dumb as it seems. Redundancy in design means that the suits aren’t compatible; but it also means that if one suit is discovered to have a flaw worthy of grounding that suit (and therefore the capsule it works with), we can keep going to space on option B.

Indeed. It's just a problem that needs to be solved. There will be others.

Assuming the B option doesn’t have the same or different flaw

So why can't you have different suits but with standard connections and interfaces? You know, like we have USBs that work with all electronic devices.

i think the point is that they should have thought about this before potentially stranding humans in space
