space age is here

Space age is here when every few months we run into people putting appearances in helmets, but rather very cool helmets.



Of course tons of vectors lead up to it, from mountains of scifi, to the emerging universal bashfulness all of a sudden with everybody hooded in news footage, to the possibility those helmets comment on that. That bit particularly is doctrinal shit. It's a counter counter counter cou- hey that's my tail i been trying to catch .

Back to the helmets:

Nobody's helmets are cooler than Daft Punk's. If their music weren't cool they could probably eke a living just pimping those cool helmets. I'd seen their photos before, but early this year, I Ran into this photo when Facebook launched fan pages. Theirs was among the first. copyright copyright. yes the image is the copyright of "them" the owners of the copyright, which is linguistically redundant.



Not much later on, sprucing up the late summer news cycle, shenanigans of a certain Anonymous landed me on youtube watching one of his/their videos, from which was taken this snapshot with the helmet really stealing the show.




Speaking of which, is the whole Anonymous mystique is a sort of experiment in social dislocation by something like "RAND Corporation: The New Generation" ? nothing is impossible, :) particularly this sort of thing.



Later on the helmet got surreal beyond human comprehensibility.



Rather anticlimatically, finally my latest encounter was a couple of days ago when I saw the a thumbnail of the picture below at news.bbc pointing at some TV awards pics. The photo is of The Stig, a race driver & presenter of brit automoto TV program , Top Gear, getting an award. Ne'erheardo'im. But he's the Stig. new generation of racing,
helmet always on. day and night.



Meanwhile android designers have been taking to the human look of late,








I think such similitude is as ridiculous as the plaque sent with Pioneer craft in the 70s.




which brings us back to that the space age is here.
