Billy’s First Space Flight Past Mars, Jupiter, Saturn

The outside is specially coated and changes colour depending on the atmosphere. In an atmosphere that is beneficial to us, the material turns orange and throws this yellow-green light inwards. If the outside is coloured differently, for example green, yellow, red or blue etc., the inside light changes immediately. Without special analyses, we are thus informed as to whether or not we need a protective suit in the atmosphere in question. A failure of this type of atmosphere determination is completely impossible, and furthermore, the automatic system only opens the airlock and the exit shaft when the occupants are wearing the relevant protective suits. This is made possible by the use of sensing eyes or sensors which find the appropriate contacts at certain points on the suits.

If one wants to leave the ship in an atmosphere that is unhealthy to us, then this is only possible with the protective suit, otherwise the automatic safety mechanism is activated and all exits are locked. When we step out of those layers of a world where the atmosphere is lifted, the outside of the windows becomes transparent and clear and hardly differs from your clear glass. The windows also prevent the penetration of any radiation through the special coating, so there is no danger. They only let through neutralised light.

For observation we have our control devices, which enable us to look much more closely than looking out through the windows, which should not be very suitable for taking pictures, because the pictures probably become unclear, at least as long as the outside is coloured. In higher layers, however, this should resolve itself, so you can take clear pictures. However, I cannot determine how far you will succeed with them, because we have never tried to use photo apparatuses of your kind and therefore do not know their possibilities.
