* While not a ''space'' suit, Iron Man's armor almost always inverts this by rarely showing Tony Stark's face from the outside. A relatively recent solution to allow emoting is a sort of 'virtual' display of him hovering in a dark space dotted with computer screens, meant to represent his version of a [[HUD]]. |

** When Tony first switched from the Gold Plated Battle Tank Armor to the classic red-and-gold skin-tight model in [[The Sixties]], his lengthy introduction to the new suit specifically noted that he's made the eye-holes and mouth-slits bigger so his adversaries could see his expressions. In [[The Seventies]], everything narrowed to featureless slits again ... but there was a tendency for artists to draw the solid metal "shellhead" faceplate as an [[Expressive Mask]]. |

* Non-space example, but in ''[[Repo the Genetic Opera]]'' the Repo Man's helmet has blue lights. Head mentions on the DVD that he couldn't see past them. |

* Similarly, the much derided [[Judge Dredd]] film saw Old Stoneyface lose his [[The Faceless|faceless]] status in deference to the expensive actor. [[They Changed It Now It Sucks|Fans were not amused.]] |

* Averted in ''[[Deep Impact]]'', as the astronauts worked on the dark side of the comet their face shields were open, only closing them as the Sun approached the horizon. This scene also realistically portrays the effects of failing to use face shields {{spoiler|as one astronaut fails to close his shield in time. The exposure of only a few seconds results in immediate permanent blindness and severe sun burn.}} |
