Could kerbals breathe on Laythe?

Yeah, reading down this thread, I was gonna say whether or not Laythe has sufficient pressure and oxygen content to breathe, it's probably something else in the atmosphere that makes it difficult and unhealthy. Laythe is in a very similar position to the real Io, poised to be highly active. Realistically most of Laythe's oxygen should probably be in the form of sulphur dioxide, toxic and essentially unuseable.

 

 

i like this idea; laythe as a violent, primeval world bathed with hot noxious gasses and immense radiation. The glow of volcanoes and various bioluminescent protists illuminating the night side.

It's deadly stinky.

I'm only really asking because there's other planets with atmospheres where the jet engines don't work... but on Laythe the jet engines (in air-breathing mode, to clarify, hence the post) DO work... idk from a perspective of the whole Kerbal existence I was curious.

While you know more about Eve I know alot about Laythe and yes it's possible

Oh trust me, you'll conquer Eve like you conquered Laythe. This was the best example I've seen so far also so thank you
