The demands of space exploration weight reduction, weight reduction, compactness and weight reduction. The demands of disaster relief are probably all terrain mobility, strength and stability. Those attributes are polar opposites.

But the demand for mech suits is always very high.

They always forget the critical important factor: Mech Suits are Awesome!
