Default Re: G80-03: Spaceball

But the spacewalk to me brings up some interesting points:

1) They put on a spacesuit before the space walk. I'm sure it was not easy getting the suit on in the small space they had but doable. But what I wonder if, why would they not be in the space suit to begin with? If in combat at the canopy was fractured, they would be fracked.

Perhaps they give up the space suit to keep it less cumbersome?

Maybe the reimagined wondered this too and that is why they have more of a regular suit. However, we have recently seen in Blood and Crome in the first part with the dogfight simulator if the canopy was blown with the suit they would be open to the radiation.

2) Back to the regular suit (non spacesuit) what is the advantage of lighting the helmet? I know this has been asked before, but what did everyone come up with? We have seen the face lit helmets in Battlestar, Tron, Alien and a few other sci-fi movies. Great for lighting up the actors face, but wouldn't that also kill their night vision since the outside would be dark and there would light all around their face?
