It's a flashback to the invention of the fusion drive that allowed humanity to colonize the belts and outer planets, no less. It took place over a century before the events of the series, which itself is estimated to be around 2350 AD [1]. Clearly they've had plenty of time to not only work out the kinks but integrate the technology into society at a level far beyond what we see today with kids and their smartphones. The rock hoppers likely start developing the muscle memory needed to survive in space by grade school.

    Which is probably why they show Detective Miller dropping critical gear first time he's on a space walk (he had never left the Ceres station before the events in the series).
