Oops — wrong board! I think celestial sequins would be a great look but I agree that space fringe would be hard to resist. I just worry that it would be too medusa-esque. (Obviously, I need to find better things to worry about.)

Is it me or does Twitch have some sort of bizarre Urkel fetish?

Tuzo, your question is thrilling on so many levels. I’d have to go with a FRINGED space suit, just to see how the excess material would handle zero gravity! If there was a lunar eclipse on one side of me, and a fringed spacesuit 180 degrees opposite and I could only look at one, we all know I’d turn to the fringe.

I was a bit of a Star Wars dork in college (who else named their red corvette Red 5?) so I would def choose the rebel attack on the Death Star (from Episode IV, unless I could ride with Lando in the Falcon in the Return of the Jedi attack). Either would be way cool. Sigh, still a dork.

The “ORGASMATRON” from Woody Allen’s SLEEPER (1973)!

Annie, sometimes the obvious must be pointed out: that is a big bag of crazy that you opened up this morning! (Or perhaps a monolith of madness to fit in with the theme.)
.
But to join the party, I would go with Apollo 13. In terms of scenes, the liftoff and return to Earth are magnificent and awe inspiring. It would be incredible to be able be a part of that. Also, the walk on the moon “dream” sequences would be good too. The middle part of the film — not so much.
.
My question back to you: if you were going to wear a space suit which type would you prefer: fringe or sequins? Each has their problems. Sequins could blind you with reflected sunlight while fringe could get in the way during space walks. I would usually go with fringe but in space I think sequins are the new black.

Egads! Sorry, Annie, but I can’t get past the image of chocolate defacing the trackpad of your beautiful MacBook Pro.

I’d like to use a transporter from Star Trek (when it’s working perfectly and not operating as a plot point)
