Spacesuit Fashion Report



Back in 2019, a Washington Post industry reporter had a conversation with a fashion critic about five different kinds of spacesuits.  Comments from Christian Davenport and Robin Givhan covered:

Mercury suit
Apollo lunar suit
Shuttle ACES (pumpkin) suit
Boeing suit
SpaceX suit

Details are HERE.

I thought this was a cool reminder...

"Unlike mission patches for other flights, the Apollo 11 patch did not have the names of the crew members. Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins felt their names should be left out because the flight represented all of humankind and the 400,000 people involved in the Apollo program."
