I get the number of steps on the latter to be 12 and after a short Google search i know that the average distance between steps is at least .25 m (10 in). So the SJs have to be about 3 m (10 ft) and I don't think the Blue guy in the picture looks that tall. I would say that he is max. 2 m (6½ ft).

good find, BUT the suits are on a platform, plus they would be bigger with the suit on.

The empire article confirmed that the space jockeys were 3 meters tall. But I agree, the blue guy in the picture looks smaller than that.
Have you heard of phoenix asteroids?
They glow in every color of the rainbow...they travel endlessly through space...

Yeah but why only 2 suits when there's 4 SJ cryoChambers? ... just thought of that one ...

I think the guy in the pic above (right) is going to end up being a sort of hybrid or human. Hence his smaller size.

I don't think we have seen the SJ yet. Just like he didn't showed us the Xenomorph in the Alien trailer.

Not according to that Empire article. They say the jockey is a tall blue/gray humanoid. And that the large head statue was created in his image. If that's true then that means the tall humanoid in the chair scene is the jockey.

Gem, in a more enhanced, brighter image of that hallway, you can definitely see at least one other SJ suit/statue BEHIND Shaw, across from the two that we can clearly see.
The picture is on this post (and others, I'm sure): BRIGHTER/CLEARER IMAGE OF THE SPACE JOCKEYS AND NOOMI RAPACE (posted on 1/1612)

@ Gem[n]:
Take a closer look at the brightness enhanced photo of Shaw in that hallway with the 2 SJ suits to her right. You should be able to make out 2 more behind her. 4 total. I'm assuming there are probably more around the bone-ship (derelict) in other areas... Or maybe they're statues?

This image is the most puzzling one.
If we forget the Alien Space Jockey image and throw that out but not the dimentions of the Chair compared to Humans in Alien and then Chair in Prometheus. The Space Jockey/Blue Man does apear to be about 9ft tall.
Those suits on the wall seem large and maybe again 9ft or even bigger.
The image of the Jockey on the Floor and crew examining its head on the floor also looks like a creature well over 10ft tall (but then they are closer to camera) Looking at the size of the head on the med table would apear to be nearly 3X that of the Scientist, but if its a Mask/Helmet then a Smaller Head would fit into it but then allowing that the creature that would wear that Mask/Helmet would have to be about 10ft tall.
But that one image with Shaw in it, shows a Jockey/Blue Guy who is much Smaller?

Could it be that "blue guy" approaching Shaw is just a human wearing the jockey's bio-mechanical suit? (I'm guessing the suit would re-adjust itself to the wearer's body?)

@draekus
I guess you're right ... I'm very puzzled because then we have blue SJs that looks like humans and we have one or more tiny blue guys (mini SJs). They must be related somehow, but how?
Perhabs mini SJs are SJ androids? Seems legit if they are super intelligent.

I think the "space jockey" is a biomechanical interface suit which connects the Humanoids to the ship.

Bl**dy hell ... how did I miss that? ... :) ... yep I can make out more SJ suits behind Shaw ... nice one thanks ...
Ain't heard that yet ... SJ being Androids ... I like that as a theory ... therefore servants to the Engineers would tie in ...
