My first thought upon watching Discovery Channel's When We Left Earth: It's time for another comeback of NASA style. You had the skinny-tie moment of the '80s and the indie spacerock nerdlove of the '90s, but the buzzcut/shortsleeves/hornrims look now seems to be absorbed, dispersed and minimized among various subcultures. Nobody really owns it anymore. (Indie rock is now too hirsute. And nerdcore doesn't count.) This clip is a good primer, in case you forgot.
