Astronaut Costume Ideas for Halloween 2021
Space is popular once more! With SpaceX finally bringing astronauts to the Space Station from American soil, billionaires launching themselves into low-earth orbit, and a new space race back to the moon and on to Mars, it seems like space is on everyone's mind once again.
That means dressing up as an astronaut will be a popular choice for Halloween in 2021. You can dress up as a traditional NASA astronaut, or get a totally different interstellar look that uses non-traditional colors or styles. Here are some great astronaut costume options for Halloween 2021.
Traditional Orange ACES Astronaut Flight Suit Costumes
Did you know that shuttle astronauts wore International Orange flight suits during ascent as a safety precaution in case of emergency? The bright color is extremely visible against a variety of natural landscapes, especially the ocean. Here are some orange NASA-style astronaut flight suit costume ideas.
White EVA-Style or Heat-Reflective Astronaut Costumes
White jumpsuits are worn during EVAs, or spacewalks, to protect astronauts when they are exposed to space outside of their vehicle. White is also worn to help keep astronauts from overheating, as the light color reflects rather than absorbs heat from the sun. Here are some white NASA-style astronaut costume jumpsuits.
Other Fun Astronaut Costume Ideas
These unique spaceflight-inspired costumes are funny, or have a different look besides the traditional jumpsuits familiar to fans of NASA astronauts. These outfits can be used alongside traditional costumes as a couple, friend, family, or group costume idea.
