This is really just great: music mashup too of 'Space Oddity' and 'Eleanor Rigby'.

Isnt it weird that in all this science fiction the only place its important to have clear naked eye visibility is the one place you could do with fully enclosed protection and a heads up display, and yet when its based on planet earth with all its protection from searing photonic radio helldeath an awful lot of the helmets are fully enclosed with no visors necessary.

I love Science, it gives me a Hadron.

Maybe I'm tired, but I'm not following what you are trying to say. Smile

Can you rephrase ??

Some great clips in there... plenty of films that wowed my imagination as a whippersnapper.

Yeah quite the flashback. I had forgotten totally about "Journey to the Far Side of the Sun". Was on late night TV a lot in the 70s.

He is amazed that filmmakers want to show the face of the actors.

That is an issue at times.

James Cameron even had to develop with NASA's help to make the actor's faces in the underwater helmets even recognizable in "The Abyss". Lord knows he can afford to make anything happen.
