So I noticed something strange about the flight suits. They seem to have left in blue ones. https://a57.foxnews.com/static.foxnews.com/foxnews.com/content/uploads/2024/07/720/405/nasa-starliner-june-5-nasa-live-astronauts.jpg?ve=1&tl=1
But they came back in white ones? https://media.breitbart.com/media/2025/03/Rescued-Astronaut-640x480.jpeg
The boots also look big on the return trip. Something seems off.
When they launched, they were in white. I watched the launch. The astronauts in the ISS wear blue onboard the ISS. For traveling to and from they wear the white flight suit.
got a pic? were they the same suits?

I couldn’t post the screenshot I took but if you go to 32.34 in the video you will see them in their white suits for launch. When they walk to the area where they put on the white flight suit they wear either orange or blue jumpsuit type cloths. I don’t know if they wear the jumpsuit under the white suit. On the ISS, I have seen American astronauts wear the blue suits and sometimes others have regular clothes on. Not sure what their regimen is. My father worked as a rocket engineer in support of NASA for over 30 years, I believe the white suit is made for optimal comfort and protection from possible negative scenarios. For instance, for comfort the area of the legs have a sort of accordion pleats around the knee so fabric doesn’t bunch up behind the knee.
Well one thing I know they are built for is depressurization. The blue suits have conections for that but the white ones do not as I can tell.
