[Spaceships] Passage Tubes? Stats? Cost?

For paranoid space/starship owners you could have nested tubes -- like a hose inside a tire -- each one of which folds separately. Would take up a lot of space as the outer tube would have to fold into a toroidal storage volume around the inner tube's storage area (itself around the hatch).

But it would make the likelihood of puncture (requiring two simultaneous punctures of armored and presumably-self-sealing tubes) very unlikely.

Oh, yeah -- and wear a form-fitting spacesuit with pull-on flexible helmet when you're in the twin tubes.
