content: as a general search to see how woman astronaut "looks like"most space organizations have photos in the full spacewalk geari suppose it is a hint that these folks have been trained to do work inside and outside of a spacecraftBO seem to allow the release of the videos, which deliberately blur what is space touristif we look at BO photos old vs newpreviously BO "crew" group pics doesnt have any zippers downand more interestinglythe SEO appear deliberately wiped so that none of the previous suits show up as current searchas shabaz below didnt like the "SEO wipe"well maybe i shall call it a twisting of public searchable perceptionas oppose to othersso the BO "promotion" is that this is totally fine, zippers down, going for a holiday ?well there is a big difference like when sheet metal has been deburred, it is only a tiny bit of metalas shabaz again think this is small meaningless detailsthese are concious decisionsBO is not a toddler fashion retail store eitherthe suit is supposedly designed by "high fashion" designerthe color scheme of the suit accentuates somethingdid you all noticed the effect of the darker blue tone at the sides ?it appears to enhance perception of *ahem* depthok sure, emphasis on fun and "relaxing" triphttps://pagesix.com/2025/04/14/style/all-about-the-blue-origin-space-suits-lauren-sanchez-helped-design/

content: Quote from: Simmed on April 22, 2025, 01:54:48 amNo, such SEO wiping is a figment of your vivid imagination most likely.Have you really not got anything better to do, than to google-search for these images and take the effort to take screenshots and share with others to examine the position of zippers?! What's that got to do with anything remotely engineering related?

content: Quote from: TimFox on April 21, 2025, 06:55:36 pmThat was a totally different time, where woman were still seen as just housewife's basically. And she actually became a pilot her self. I don't see Katy Perry becoming a true astronaut that actually controls a space craft and performs special task when in space.I see space tourism as a completely different sport.

Leika probably had more training than these passengers.
