General:NASA punk

NASA punk (also spelled NASApunk or NASA-punk) is the art style of Starfield. The style is characterized by its inspiration on 1970s NASA aesthetic, and a prioritization of function over style. The term "NASA punk" was coined by Starfield art director Istvan Pely, who elaborated, "There aren't holograms everywhere. It's got buttons. They're tactile. You want to press 'em. Don't think of it as futuristic. Think of it as a period piece. These are things that happened."
