The Sea of Perdition (2006)
The Sea of Perdition is short film by director; Richard Stanley.
It follows a lone astronaut exploring the Martian landscape who...... Actually its not much more than about 8 minutes in duration so you should probably just go and find out for yourself. It's available on YouTube as well as a number of other places and it really is well worth a little look.
I've been a Richard Stanley fan since catching Hardware on VHS back in the day and his follow up; Dust Devil (The directors cut) is a work of dark art. After that it all went a bit wrong and Richard became a semi obscure all be it well respected cult figure.
Somebody should probably give him a big fat cheque and a movie script to direct but in the meantime his film shorts are more than worth the cost of admission. Well done, Sir. More please. Many, many more.

Hardware was a great little film that I enjoyed, especially seeing Lemmy from MOTORHEAD has the water-cab driver!

Cheers Tim, Nice big list there. Most of these are in the To do list but you've found me some nice reference pictures to uses. If I don't get round to it sooner, I'm planning a big blog session in August where I'll hopefully get all of these out there and clear the files a little. Cheers

And theres also this one from Star Trek Wrath of Khan,I suppose it might not technically be a "space" suit but its pretty close

And I always liked these ones from Spacehunter because they just looked so different,not to mention impractical but cool none the less
