The spacesuits could be an accurate prediction

The antithesis of Mollo's/Moebius designs for Alien and (admittedly) more practical and realistic? Even down to the elbow-pads. The costume designs dept must've done exhaustive research at the behest of Sir Ridley to get maximum authenticity. http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2007/07/photogalleries/spacesuit-pictures/photo3.html

Cooool! and here's all of us thinking the suits lacked realism. We still haven't been able to guess whay there is 2 suits though. Maybe we'll know more on Saturday.

Just watched Planet of the Vampires on Youtube, and I noticed the bonnet-caps of their black and yellow leather outfits are not too dissimilar to those yellow ones worn by the crew in Prometheus.

That's a very nice find, Zetareticuli! And isn't it ironic that the Alien suits, deemed more "authentic", are now demoded?
