>>6753637

>>6753639
i'll try to find somethin
pretty sure this is a rogue cosplay but whatever

>>6753659

>>6753672

>>6753656

>>6753674

>>6753679
oops

got anything you could actually pull off irl?

>>6753667
we've strayed a bit from space but whatever
kinda hard to find stuff that isnt paintings that fits this shit

>>6753672
>>6753674
noice, didnt know that was part of a set

>>6753681
i dont have any photos of fits besides that knoch one and my own fit from a week or two ago (pic related)

but theres always scifi movie/production stills

>>6753684
This is enough MGS cosplay for now. It's very modern stuff, and it wouldn't look out of place in a sci-fi movie. I have a thing for women in skin-tight techno wear.

>>6753704
misplaced the (pic related)

whatevs have some more alien stills

>>6753613
when they become practical

>>6753679
~buner~

post your fit? you've got me curious.

and i really dig the fashion in the alien series. it's different enough to look futurey without looking wacky and lame
the hair is a bit stuck in the 70s though

>>6753721

>>6753724
yeah i guess that makes sense

>>6753734
yeah its definitely got the 70s/80s feel but i kinda prefer its utilitarian fits to a lot of the overly scifi shiny glossy spacesuits in most recent scifi

here's the fit

>>6753746
pretty nice, though the jacket looks a little funny with that t for some reason

>>6753756
hmm. too much black or is it the fit or something

>>6753760
yeah I think it's the black, but I was trying to think what colour I would replace it with and got nothing. Have you tried grey? idk. I love the pants and shoes though, and the jacket's nice as well.

>>6753760

>>6753746

>>6753777
yeah really

>>6753774
it'd have to be a pretty dark grey so i can get contrast with the pants, or maybe like a darkish orange. thanks

Serious question, what would you call this? Just a plain jumpsuit?
I'm trying to find similar looking things but I'm only coming up with woman's clothes or goofy cosplay's.

>>6753904
Overalls.

>>6753904
yeah some sort of nasa jumpsuit dunno where to find em. someone posted one in a cop or not thread a while ago but i dunno where it was from

>tfw you will never do this in 1/3 Earth's gravity

>>6754007
>>6754007
yeah man sucks

people used to be all about space exploration and now everyones just like "oh they sent a thing to mars who gives a shit"

shits lame i wanna go to space

some recent cops in this style

>>6754027
cool man, good luck with it

>>6753613
When we actually need them

>>6754031

78,000 people applied to be the first colonists on Mars. However it's being financed by private corporations rather than Cold war money this time around.

>>6754056
>However it's being financed by private corporations
Something tells me they will put the 'colonists' (at least the earliest ones) to complete slave labor mining the planet for materials

You know, sometimes space-people dress pretty normal.

>>6754065

The first colonists will almost certainly be chemistry and geology experts and engineers with a military background. If you're qualified apply at SpaceX, which is run by futurist and engineer Elon Musk (of Tesla Motors fame). Their goal is to make Mars habitable for human life on a very aggressive timeframe.

http://www.spacex.com/careers/list

>>6754056
there will be way more if it actually gets moving.

i heard about one project that would have people volunteer for a one way trip to mars with more people to follow and eventually colonize, and the whole thing would be made basically into a reality show to pay for the venture

itll probably happen in our lifetimes i guess but still be expensive as hell and theres no coming back from mars and theres no reason to go to the moon really

>>6753639

She's dressed in what Tarkovsky et al. envisioned would be typical garb of rural Russia, in the future. She's not actually dressed to go to space. She is a manifestation of Kelvin's subconscious, therefore she is not properly equipped for her environment, she merely exists as Kelvin remembers her.

>>6754113
that shirt is sick

>>6754097

But I see your point. Futurism usually says more about the time in which it is produced than the time it depicts.

The costume designers for 2001: A Space Odyssey nailed it by making the garments very subtly different from ordinary business and military wear. There is a cool documentary about it which you can see on:

i dunno how much i like those and i definitely dont have money to cop now anyway haha

if the sole was white or the same tan i'd dig em more

i cant wait for space sand ninja

>>6754218
anyways the future of techwear looks good

>>6754218

Yeah they're in my size but I'm not copping. Waiting until I see my grail come up. Pic related.

>>6753613
You're talking like a countless number of people don't already wear helmets every single day.

Want to future it up? Add googles or most of the sunglasses Margiela or Mykita put out and you're good.

>>6754238
still not a huge fan of the colors maybe after some wear and tear they'd look good

for now i'm good with my y-3 boots until i make more money

>>6754246
this is true i guess i was talking more about full helmets that cover the face

>>6754253
Hence futuristic sunglasses. Mykita here.

>>6754253
Still entirely acceptable if you own a motorcycle.

>>6754268
Splitting it up makes it a bit more incremental and thus a lot more wearable, and ventilation is obviously going to be a hell of a lot better.

Also Mykita.

>>6754270
What am i looking at here

>>6754270
yeah i was just looking at bike helmets that look kinda spacey/piloty and was like "this is gonna look retarded unless i get a motorcycle"

>>6754270
Harder to wear off the cycle, socially and practically, than a bicycle helmet.

Margiela also has a lot of appropriateable models.

>>6754293
Bicycle helmets? Post some.

Also Margiela.

>>6754298
Last in this futuristic, visor/goggle-ish sunglasses minidump.

Also note literally any googles will do. Tons of surplus pilot's goggles out there.

>>6754295

Would cop if I owned anything more powerful than my old steel ten-speed.

>>6754302
Whoops. Also Margiela.

>>6754298
i didnt really look anywhere worth posting pics from, just a quick google

i was just saying i feel like its kinda try hard to wear a helmet on a bike solely for how it looks. unless you are on like a crazy ass mountain.
for a motorcycle its actually justified

>>6754294
you just leave it with the motorcycle or hold it under your arm like a badass if you arent staying long

Okay bed time.

>>6754597
those palladiums? damn i need to get me some

>>6754591
yeah thats what i was thinking

>>6754610
They're not palladiums. They're the original boot palladiums are based on.

>>6754621
search for french jungle boot

>>6754614
I think the fit is actually pretty fucking cool right now but I think the colour will make it almost authentic.

>>6754616
oh what type

>>6754625
thx

>>6754620
yeah i gotta keep playing with those y-3s. i dont think i even have a yellow or orange basic tee doe guess i gotta go shoppin

>silent running core

have you seen that movie, poet?

>>6754631
Damn it, he's so good at these fits.

Yeah, definitely a fan of SR.

I don't have anything new to contribute to this thread, haven't had time to dig. Anything I posted would be old hat.

>>6754645
nothing short of inspiring

Do you have any more movie recommendations?

>>6754668
Not him, but try dark star. It's corny as hell, but still offers a pretty good viewing.

On costuming? I'm gonna say Saturn 3 & Dune have some style.
Outland
The Lawnmower Man (close to vaporwave in its style, actually!)
You GOTTA see Runaway, I think it's with Tom Selleck? Ultimate 80's tech flick about industrial robots going nuts in a mechanized future. Super cheese but some of the effects are a blast and there IS some style there.
Pandorum
Night of the Comet is a great period piece about 80's teen culture.
Of course there's Tron
Last Starfighter
Moon
Can't think of anything else atm

>>6754668

Black Hole

>>6754705

Saturn 3 was p great and I liked the fits, but damn that movie was hilariously sexist.

>>6754712

>>6754705
>>6754668

Alien series of course
H.R. Giger Revealed
Masters of Time
Fantastic Planet
Gandahar
Event Horizon

>>6754716
Oh, yeah, that movie was absolutely retarded in terms of gender roles. Beyond retarded. Living proof of why the Hippie sexual revolution failed the way it did. Trying to bring about a sea change in gender relations when you still basically think of women the way they're portrayed in that film? Pfffft.

On the other hand, you can read the narrative as uber-feminist. By the end of the film she's able to return to her mother Earth without any man by her side. I think the final shot of her alone staring at earth from afar is a metaphor for self-empowerment in the wake of the failed sexual revolution (represented by Keitel, his pills and loose ethics) and the old-guard patriarchy (A nurturing Kirk Douglas who still makes all her decisions for her with little consultation).
Neither the gentle older fellow nor the dangerous bad boy are a part of her story in the end - she is her own woman.

>>6754743

I think any movie can be twisted into a feminist narrative similar to the "marxist critique" game

her whole plot was "the events transpiring are scary and confusing to me, but I don't know which male character I should let tell me what to do!"

and I'm with you on the hippy thing. There were a lot of false starts before we got to rational gender egalitarianism, like with 2nd wavers saying women make better parents.

Shitty Pic Related is from the Aliens Technical Manual by Lee Brimmicombe-Wood. If you liked the style of the films enough, you might want to grab a copy. There are a bunch of uniforms, but mostly it's about tech. Still a fascinating read, tho.

stop baiting the nice guy

>>6754929
it's the fact that he's nice that i'm surprised dude
it's like your chilling with someone then they casually refer to girls at the club as sluts
i just wouldn't expect it from him :(

>>6754946
lots of girls at the club are sluts tho

I always thought the guys on the cover of Dopesmoker had it done right. Cool "desert planet" fit of someone who's been to Earth and didn't care for the acid rain.

>>6754950
that's mean
i don't wanna put ppl down for wanting 2 shag lots of ppl u know?

>>6754963
i dont mean it in a bad way. some sluts are really nice ppl

Caravan migrates through deep sandscape

>>6754975
yeah but the use of the word slut anyway brings negative connotations to the acts and the people
and stops people feeling able to freely practice their sexuality without judgment
you can't "not mean it in a bad way" when the meaning of the word is p cemented

>>6754975
it's just a charged word that's become associated with juvenile bitterness. It's like tossing around 'nigger'
>but some black people really are niggers!

It's just strong language that people use because they know it gets a reaction. I avoid using the word sluts because people that use it are usually hypocrites and cowards afraid of their own sexuality.

>>6754946

Retarded is really the right word though, he's talking about a social movement being behind the times. Retarded literally means lacking in development, whether social or intellectual.

arent women trying to take back the word or w/e, slutwalks ect?

sort of like how queer was an insult a few years ago and ppl refer to themselves w/ it now

>>6754990

Without getting too tumblr on you, there is a movement to reclaim and "own" the word slut.

>>6755004
>arent women trying to take back the word or w/e, slutwalks ect?
>implying I concern myself with the affairs of sluts

top haha.

I really don't know dude.

>>6754999
It's still too offensive to use in language without being challenged imo. I know it's p different in america though (i'm in england) and it's way more socially acceptable there. We get censored versions of childrens TV cutting out any "spaz" or "retard".

>>6755004
>>6755006
I'm aware of this but it doesn't change the impact of a man using it. I also don't think it can work in a reclaimed the same way "nigger" did because:

nigga was reclaimed in popular culture a long time after it was in extremely common use
sluts is still in common use by both men and women in the negative sense
women aren't a minority
it's not just about the meaning of the word slut, but the way people think about female sexuality

i think sometimes social justice movements get too caught up in reclaiming and changing words instead of changing attitudes: if i was a woman i wouldn't want to take back "slut", i wouldn't want people to ever think I was a "slut"

i'm rambling w/e

>>6755020

I think it has more to do with the fact that if a man has multiple sexual partners, he is seen as a badass, while a woman is seen as a slut for the same reason. There isn't really an equivalent word for men (that isn't borrowed from a word for women, e.g. "manwhore"), so promiscuous women have no choice but to reclaim the word.

You saying you wouldn't want to be thought of as a slut is basically saying that either you wouldn't want to have multiple sexual partners, or you wouldn't want anyone to find out about it and label you. Yet as men, we can basically be proud to fuck everything that moves.

>>6755020
i think it probably will be

its not like the meaning of the word is changing, its just people getting called sluts and saying "yeah so what?"

of course there will always be the /r9k/ virgins who will be butthurt and use it as an insult but i think more and more of the non autistic population is seeing being promiscuous as less and less of a bad thing

its not just a female thing either, the more men are called sluts, usually in a positive sense the less it will be seen as a negative thing

obvs there will be a lot of women who dont want to be sluts but if a minority takes pride in it so what, its up to them

can we get back to cool shit and stuff
I hate to be that guy but there are plenty of other places more suitable to discussion like this

>this discussion

Srsly, you guys.
I was trying to forget the social justice brigade fallout I got from saying "faggot" on Tumblr the way one would casually throw it around here (i.e., totally disconnected from any overt homophobic meaning).

Also check out this bike helmet.

>>6755029

That's pretty dope.

Check out the Catlike Whisper. Very bio-core.

>>6755029
That would be a lot cooler if it accordionned into some streamlined shape instead of looking like someone broke a basketball made out of metal. Like, it should fold into a nice little pistachio nut.

>>6755033
Well, I never expected trypophobia-inducing bike helmets.

>>6755038

>>6755042

>>6755025
>saying that either you wouldn't want to have multiple sexual partners, or you wouldn't want anyone to find out about it and label you
I don't think "slut" means "multiple sexual partners", I think it means "multiple sexual partners and that's wrong". And I do think the usage of the word is falling as people become more aware of the impact of the words they say. We really don't need a word to describe someone who has had a lot of sexual partners, because it should be an acceptable thing.

>>6755027
> the more men are called sluts, usually in a positive sense the less it will be seen as a negative thing
yeah i feel you on that, i forgot to say i think the only way the word could be successfully changed would be if it became gender-neutral. but i don't know how realistic that would be.

>>6755029
You can't separate the meaning from the word, even if you want to.

dont really agree w/ u on this, i have a lot of male and female friends both who use it as a positive thing
>We really don't need a word to describe someone who has had a lot of sexual partners, because it should be an acceptable thing.
just because its acceptable doesnt mean we dont need a word for it... u still call virgins virgins, gay ppl gay, black ppl black, ect

that's all good man, I've just never come across that myself irl

i feel like we don't need a word cause it's only there to degrade women and promote the idea that being a "slut" is wrong, that's why nobody uses any word to describe a promiscuous man rly

>>6755072
cause they symbolise youth and yr a pedo

I wore this fit minus the jacket the other day. Didn't get any weird looks. The key is keeping the influences subtle. At least for me. If y'all wanna go full spacesuit I won't be mad.

any spacecore bros know where to cop light grey tapered cargos?

>>6755110

Why would you? In that case you're only wearing unusual shoes.

>>6755162

I think the jacket wouldn't even get any stares unless you live in a place where fashion doesn't exist.

ps

id just get tights if i wanted something tight, im aftr cargos

>>6755178

Raeburn SS13, probably gonna be tough to find now. They do have the military green version on sale in size small on oki-ni right now tho.

>>6755191

think they have a few on yoox too

>>6755195

Farfetch has it for $300 in M, military. There are a couple other colors on Yoox but I'm not crazy about them.
