Okay, so it says that the standard flight suit is implemented, but what does it actually do? Can you really survive outside your ship for 48 hours with it and the helmet on? how would you get out in the first place?

You take no damage on a moon? Or are moon's in this considered 'small planets' like the Sanctuary Moon of Endor opposed to Luna?
Coming from a (relatively) cold area, wearing a Thermal suit would be appropriate for a cold world (thermal undies keep you warm, not help you cool off)
It's a Thermal Survival suit, meaning Hot Survival suit. It is specially made to protect you from extreme temperatures.
The Arctic Survival suit is used to survive the inverse. This suit is designed to keep the wearers body warm in temperatures that are below that which is survivable for the unprotected body.
I agree with the whole balance thing...but then again, I have to look at other perspectives. If the SW universe is supposed to be so far advanced...why couldn't they have one suit that does both. I mean heck, here it is 2010, and we have space suits that can cool or heat an individual to keep their temperature regulated.
Thermal doesn't necessarily mean hot. It just means that the object is related to thermal energy. Whether it's protecting from thermal energy or actually produces heat is a completely different matter.
so flight suits don't keep you warm say if one where to go to hoth one would need the arctic suit and if one where to go to a hot planet they would need a thermal suit.

If you have the time to think of a pretty death why not spend it liveing a pretty life to the very end?
