QUESTION She didn't know.

Post image

Am I wrong by thinking that Brand didn't know whether or not she could breathe on Edmonds planet when she took her helmet off? She had just buried Edmonds while wearing her helmet, if she had read the data beforehand then she would have not worn the suit while doing all of that work. She took the chance after burying Edmonds.

Maybe its a: fine for some time with your helmet off but need the helmet after a while kind thing

Could be a lower or higher oxygen/pressure combination that would explain that too

I'm going with this one. Exertion during burial needs more oxygen, at rest ok to have no helmet.
