They seem to be pretty awkward to look up in at least.

I don't know it might just be that it's different from any other suit but it looks like they got stuck between wanting a more modern clean design and the fact that it's real middle aged men that need to wear and move in them and they just look weirdly boxy with the big white expanse on the front and back of the torsos. Look at these for example they're just very square and empty.

It's mostly just that older suits [0] and scifi suits [1] have painted a picture of there being more stuff involved in a suit to break up the expanse of the torso and the back, so they look weirdly plain. I bet they're perfectly fine functionally, and the single port seems like a good idea, but the do kind of miss the mark for me aesthetically.

Also really hope they figure out how to make flexible necks work because this [2] video of them trying to look to the top of their rocket looks so uncomfortable.

I don't understand. What is the difference between that video and this [0] one? They're both by NASA.

Then there's also the one by SpaceX [1] for those interested. I know that SpaceX usually has two webcasts going during launches; one for the public-friendly chatter and another for the go/nogo technical chatter

I always look for the SpaceX or NASA official links. Don't search for SpaceX on youtube, you'll drown in unofficial garbage from news companies

I wouldn't be surprised if streaming to two different channels gives them some redundancy...

Useful for me since I have the youtube app on my TV and can pull it up.

I have no idea why you have a different ID for your first link. But you'll see that the link I posted and your link are both on the official NASA channel.
