    Kudos to the artist for putting clothing on the skeletons. So often pictures like this just have a skeleton sitting there and I’m left wondering why they were naked when they died.

      I mean, organic fibers like cotton can and will degrade over time. Especially if there is other organic activity going on in the environment. Yeah completely unadorned skelis would be a bit odd. Honestly in this setting I would actually expect the skelis to Have more complete clothing as it looks like they’re in a fairly sterile and artificial environment and I’d imagine their ‘space clothes’ are synthetic.

        If it was completely sterile and artificial then I’d expect mummies instead of skeletons, there must have been some kind of bugs to much up the leathery meat layer.

          I think we’re all asking the same thing: “Where did their delicious liquefied organs drain to?”
