I definitely did not mean that people hop up into an aircraft and go to space to meet some aliens. What people do is to get dressed in cosplay costumes of characters from cartoons, animes, movies and even from history i.e. knights and kings. They go to a particular area designated for this purpose and take part in plays featuring such characters. These people not only get dressed like those fictional and historical characters but they love it, breathe it and actually live those characters. They speak like them and act like them as if they are actually them.

Cosplay is actually a combination of two words i.e. costume and play. Therefore, you must always have a costume if you want to be a part of the cosplay event.
