It could help people who need help walking. It can provide the necessary exercise equipment for astronauts without taking up too much room. It only weighs 57 pounds. The cost of the suit is probably very high, if the suit broke- then it would be harder and more expensive to fix, and the suit is slightly uncomfortable to wear.

List three pros about discovering new planets similar to earth: If Earth becomes over populated or runs out of necessary resources then we could always go to the larger Earth. There might be life on this new planet, and this new "super-Earth" is actually kind of close by. List three cons about discovering new planets similar to earth: There might already be life on this planet, there could be something bad on the planet that we can't see (that could prevent habitation) [like maybe the whole planet is covered in volcanoes or something really bad like that], and it only takes 28 days to orbit around it neighboring star (it's sun) so I don't know what that would do to the weather and the seasons. List one pro from another person: List one con from another person:
