Where does one get Neil Armstrong’s “measurements”?…i guess it’s on file at NASA! Fascinating video and description of the incredible conservation process
Incredible care by all involved to bring this historic artifact to the Smithsonian. I hope people 1000 years from now will see Apollo suits that were worn by the astronauts.
