Not for nothing, i hate SpaceX's space suits. They're stupid AF-looking.

[Dennis Donovan]

Exhibit A - Badass:



Exhibit B - WTF?



It occurred to me where I'd seen those suits before:

[dewsgirl]

1. LoL🤣

[A HERETIC I AM]

2. They struck me as looking like they were from the wardrobe department....

of a 1960's Japanese monster movie!

Well, as long and they're functional, I suppose.

[Dennis Donovan]

3. Maybe it's easier to pee?

[Gidney N Cloyd]

32. Exactly!

[wcmagumba]

4. Space 1999 even had better suits...

except for the first aid kits on their chest...

[Victor_c3]

37. Space 1999 is also a great song by the band Killdozer

https://m.

It’s about a guy showing his affection to his girlfriend through anal sex

[dalton99a]

5. Looks like style over function

[blm]

6. Going to visit The Queen of Outer Space?

[rockfordfile]

7. haahahahahaha

[Xipe Totec]

8. I got to say, I can't find a flaw in your argument. nt

[TreadSoftly]

9. Yes, it was a Hollywood designer that created these

Marvel stuff, I think. From https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/astronauts-test-out-their-new-flight-suits-180972882/

Chelsea Gohd at Space.com reports that when SpaceX founder Elon Musk debuted the suit design on Instagram in 2017, the response to the sleek, futuristic looking suit was fairly positive. The spacesuit was designed by Hollywood costume designer Jose Fernandez, who created the superhero costumes for Wonder Woman, Wolverine and Captain America: Civil War.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

10. They remind me of like something out of a Christopher Nolan movie.

[Shermann]

30. I remember that scene

Their buddy got lost in ankle-deep water and they sort of wrote him off right away and blasted off without him.

[lapfog_1]

11. even 2001 A Space Odyssey

had better looking suits... from 1968

[uponit7771]

28. +1, this is what they reminded me of

[BannonsLiver]

12. The whole thing is lame

The capsule looks like a ride at Disney, the uniforms look stupid and Musk’s involvement as an evil libertarian super villain casts a pall over all of it.

[Crunchy Frog]

36. That sounds like my kind of movie. When is it being released?

[BannonsLiver]

39. Delayed till Saturday.

[PCIntern]

13. Lord Helmet!!!

Fugly suits!

[rusty fender]

14. 😂🤣😂🤣

[hedda_foil]

15. Separates? How the hell do you pressurize separate pants and top?

[Talitha]

17. A tech pointed out that the suits are one piece.

Funky-looking, I agree.

But if everything we're seeing today means we'll be
launching from the USA again, I'm all for it.

[PoliticAverse]

19. It's actually entirely "one piece" with zippered entry. See...

[Talitha]

43. Thanks, that was interesting!

Novel way to climb into it, I must say...

[Brainfodder]

16. Wild guessing designed by I dunno, some poser named Ivanka?

They look like cheap costumes, like $10 made in Bangladesh fare, I know that is specific and we in the USA are normalizing vagueness, but today only, FUCK THAT?

[SoonerPride]

18. I guess I'm in the minority. I think they look sleek and fresh.

To each his own I guess 🤷🏻‍♂️

[Totally Tunsie]

29. The new helmets are a little ant or alien looking at first,

but overall I like the sleek, uncluttered look of these uniforms. They look as though they'll be easier to wear and work in.

[BannonsLiver]

40. I love their Ugg boots.

[lagomorph777]

41. I like them too. Much better than the baggy old ones.

[USALiberal]

20. You are of course incorrect. Nt

[Dennis Donovan]

22. Says you n/t

[Polly Hennessey]

21. They look like pest control guys.

[Duppers]

24. Good pt!

👍

[Duppers]

23. Incredible. 😝

[USALiberal]

25. The old ones look like orange baggy trashbags. Nt

[cbdo2007]

26. No offense to these guys...but they do look better on the thinner models that they showed

them on, but they do look a little clunky on these guys.

[BootinUp]

27. The space x suits belong in a merry melodies cartoon, lol. Nt

[Shermann]

31. They have suits which are 100% airtight

...and we're laughing at them?

[Tipperary]

33. I posted that I think they look silly too.

But everyone seems to think they are cool. Not me.

[DashOneBravo]

34. That's great!

Anything beats those blaze orange hunting coveralls

[Chainfire]

35. That blaze orange

really stands out if you intend to get fished out of the ocean after a mishap.

[DashOneBravo]

44. Exactly

I’m sure it’s easier to spot with waves and helicopter spray being blown up from the water.

They’ve just ugly.

[hunter]

38. Badass is building humans who don't need space suits.

Space will be the realm of our intellectual offspring.

Natural humans are just too damned fragile.

Mars will be colonized by people who can run around naked on its surface all day.

If we are kind to them maybe they'll allow us to visit.

[Hortensis]

42. Scientists and engineers designed them. If Hollywood

or Vogue did get involved, they'd have to work with what they're given. Heard the inside of the rocket looks like a Tesla, though, and those make me think of auto upholstery.

[lpbk2713]

45. Cue Robbie.

[cwydro]

46. They look like something from the old Twilight Zone episodes.

What's with the Wellington looking boots? Looks like my gardening boots except Wellies have no zippers).

Will they be walking in mud or high water at some point on the space station? If so, those zippers will be a bad idea.

[customerserviceguy]

47. I kind of like them

They remind me of the suits used in 2001 A Space Odyssey, a little bit, and I thought those suits were way more cool than what astronauts were using at the time.

[nolabear]

48. But the gum boots are nice...

In case they run into puddles.

[lunatica]

49. OMG! This is the first time I've seen them!

They look really uncomfortable and confining as hell! The men can’t turn their heads at all or even to get a crick out of their necks. And white? Why white?! And why footware that looks like rubber gardening galoshes?! Are they expecting a flood?
