Maybe it's a superhero or stunt helmet ?
Or they just have stories about aliens. But who knows, maybe there're xD |
| LordBristle #600407 9 months ago |
It's called a disguise.
But that made me kinda laugh a bit. |
| Anonymous #600409 9 months ago |
Of course they have astronauts in Equestria.
Usually involuntary ones, who have opinions about bananas. |

Somepeople seem to think sealing Nightmare Moon in the moon was mostly magic...
But the truth involved rocket science and astroponies. STARS is an organization that rescued Nightmare Moon from the moon in hopes of overthrowing Celestia. |
| Jackarunda #600431 9 months ago |
they also have trains that need to be pulled by ponies |
| DeeperMadness #600433 9 months ago |
It's the aerial that gets me. I could see it as just a crash helmet with a visor were it not for that.
Then again, it could be part of a hazardous materials get-up; there's bound to be areas of magical waste, right? |
| Ping_chan #600434 9 months ago |
and those trains still have an engine with a conductor. |

I can explain you that my friend.
After the return of Luna to Equestria she bring with her some souvenirs from her stay in the moon. She founded a strange place where she found thousands of metal pieces and what it looked like a cocoon made of metal too. Then she founded a strange ape like form that catch her attention, when she touched that figure the head just roll over the moon's surface scaring her. After a few minutes she returned to that place and collected some of that pieces and the head of that figure that scared her. When she returned to Equestria she told everypony about this place and how that creature almost attack her but with the touch of her hoof the head of the creature has been removed and she get it like a trophy of her power. That's why that filly made a costume of the Moon creature that Princess Luna defeated with the touch of her hoof. Also "JOHNMAIDEN,JOHNMAIDEN,JOHNMAIDEN,JOHNMAIDEN,JOHNMAIDEN,!!!" |

Well, they have put a pony on the moon... |
| cthulhlu #600452 9 months ago |
not anymore, the one in the intro works fine, they pull them when the engine breaks down |
| WhiteLycan #600453 9 months ago |
I'm sure they have science fiction... |
| cthulhlu #600456 9 months ago |
they have astronauts, they just haven't landed one on the moon yet, equestria never had a space race, so they've taken there time getting things right rather then rush to win a imaginary race |

Of course they have astronauts. How do you think the Terran ambassador arrived in Equestria? |
| Anonymous #600766 9 months ago |
You obviously aren't up on Equestrian history, or you would know about the famous jailbreak attempt in 1969. Although it reached the Moon, it was still unsuccessful and Luna would remain until later.
(Yes, I just made that up.) |

| smartz118 #600916 9 months ago |
I'm pretty sure they have things like Comic Books about astronauts, like they did in the 1950's... |
| togashimenai #601086 9 months ago |
It's not the astronaut that worries me. I'm more worried about the various forms of warrior running around. There was a pirate, a knight and a viking! Either Equestrians have vivid imaginations about violence or they had a pretty violent history to draw ideas from ... which would be awesome. |
| Anonymous #601094 9 months ago |
I think we should rely on the MST3K Mantra for those, Toga. |
| togashimenai #601171 9 months ago |
^ Trust me, I don't sit down to watch a show about florescent, talking, magical ponies aimed at little girls WITHOUT taking a few doses of Mantra first. It's why I don't insert my oddball comments into threads that don't call for them.
On the other hand, I DO like to apply logic where it doesn't belong. *I* think it's fun. Your mileage may (of course) vary. For example, did you see the college lecture on how fast Rainbow Dash was going in Sonic Rainboom? Totally silly, but totally fascinating! |

I was hoping for ponies in unnecessarily terrifying 19th Century atmospheric diving suits. But hey, space works too. |

They have castles, martial arts, and ceremonial guards who wear armor. It's reasonable that at some time in the past there was a need for those things. |
| Urvy1A #602574 9 months ago |
Maybe ponies found their costumes from human remains? |

@togashimenai: What, you think Celestia and Luna got to be absolute co-monarchs of Equestria by being nice? |
| togashimenai #603070 9 months ago |
If you have to ask me that, then my reputation doesn't proceed me enough yet ... |
| Nebbie #605819 9 months ago |
Of course they have astronauts. NMM was trapped in the moon in a way that would make physically rescuing her impossible. She was a damn crater pattern.
They probably sent a few ponies up into space for some boring science and magical research stuff in orbit, and probably were waiting until post-NMM times to actually go to the moon and bring back rocks to study since that might hurt Luna to break off pieces of NMM. |
| Anonymous #609291 9 months ago |
Warrior costumes were less worrying to me than the DEVIL costumes.
Pony Hell is now canon. |
