Odyssey Spacesuits . 1968 . For ‘ 2001 A Space Odyssey ‘ , a Stanley Kubrick masterpiece . Designed by Harry Lange who had worked with NASA & Wernher von Braun as an illustrator .
Kubrick also had a hand in the design – but that probably goes without saying .
Did Kubrick also work on Super Sentai/Power Rangers?

I always thought it was a neat touch that after he has to blow himself back in the airlock his helmet is a different color than his suit.

the fact that this film still holds up after so many years compared to its contemporaries shows how they eschewed fashionable tropes of the day and instead carefully implemented the science aspects.

Why aren’t they all standard white? Is there a reason for that?

We live for the one, we die for the one.
[The SpaceX EVA suits are remarkably similar in some ways/](https://imgur.com/a/g297j9a)
Are replica 2001 helmets being made anywhere, I wonder?
