On this 50th anniversary of Apollo 11’s launch, NBC’s Harry Smith introduces Lillie Elliot, Jo Thompson and Ruth Ratledge, some of the women who hand-crafted the spacesuit Neil Armstrong wore on the moon. The suit did its job, and decades later, the Smithsonian is working to preserve it.

So proud....My father (Brendon Driscoll) is shown at 1:30 into the episode. He was the inspector for the Space Suits made by ILC - International Latex Corporation in Dover Delaware

That fabric and stitches sure held up to space’s extreme hot and cold conditions. Not to mention the pressure change of space vacuum and atmosphere cycling.

Real craftsman and extraordinary sewing skills. Today it would be called sexist, but these exceptionally skilled seamstresses created a key component for what many (including me) consider to be the pentacle of human achievement.

Why would it be called sexist?

Im sure it would still work today as well. And the cost would be priceless !

@annisdabest567 Год назад

And Neil Armstrong died 10 years ago.😭

I worked with vacuum chambers and 1 inch aluminum bends under that much pressure. Trusting a hand stitch suit under vacuum. No thanks

NASA claims that there are 12 pair of spacesuit boot overlays still on the moon. It is ALEDGED that the astronauts tossed out their spacesuit boot overlays before lift off from the lunar surface.

Pure unmitigated baloney.....you couldn't make a football like this that would hold air...no sealing of joints !

loads of questions here: how did they get into the suits? look at the back flaps, what's behind? some vaccum tight zippers or what. if you pressurize these things, meaning that they can breathe in there like on earth, the thing needs to be super reeinforced, or else the asstronots would a looked like the michelin man, about to explode, or when u pump up ur bike tire and there is a cut in the mantle/tire so the innertube will bulge out and____BANG!!_____explode. they don t show us any of these intricacies, they show us some ladies stitching with needles, needles leave holes, leaking the air they carry in their rucksacks out, how did they seal the stitches, the thing would have had to be super extremely tightly sealed. and how did the suit protect from the intense solar radiation and heat during daytime on the moon, no magnetic field and atmosphere like on earth protecting from it would be deadly.
