Because Hollywood movies are not generally based in, you know, reality. They're meant to be flashy and futuristic because that is what the audience expects in sci-fi movies. Real life isn't flashy and futuristic, though, and there's a lot of requirements to the suits which aren't super exciting.
So, yknow, good thing it's not a toy but a functional piece of clothing that's supposed to help astronauts do their job.
- thret 10y agoPR is certainly part of their job. I think OT has a point.
- mynameisvlad 10y agoNot really. Their job is to keep astronauts safe. Glitz and glam don't keep astronauts safe, boring does. Flashy lights and colors will most likely distract the astronauts in flight.
- njharman 10y agoWithout PR, there is no public interest, no funding, and no astronauts in flight needing protection. Why do you think there is big announcement, press event if not for PR?
- Retric 10y agoPR is other peoples jobs, just not the people designing a suit. IMO, critical safety systems are reasonable exceptions to the PR game.
