I’ve been rewatching this footage and thinking on it. It’s the first time I’ve seen someone in space wearing non-western inspired attire. The image deconstructs a lot of things that up to now I had only been deconstructing in my imagination and stories or other stories.

Just wanted to voice my thoughts on this. I’m sure I’m not the only one thinking it. It reminds me of how westernized the very idea of space travel and exploration is.
