Nice spot man. Also works that core in a way bench work doesn't. Clever Cosmonauts.

Here's a nice story that aired on the CBS Sunday Morning show.

It was a specific body type to fit into the capsules and modules. There were no 6 foot astronaughts on the Apollo missions.

Re: NASA Ivy

I felt genuinely sad when I read of the death of Neil Armstrong.  On the face of it why should I?  After all, he was an 82 year old man, it wasn't as if he was cut down in his prime.  I remember my mother getting sad when certain famous people died and I think this is the first time I'd really felt it myself.  Of course the other 2 astronauts from the first Apollo moon landing are still alive and are equally heroic, but Armstrong was the one who symbolised the triumph of that mission and the whole US space program.  I remember my mates and I were out fishing on the night that 'the Eagle landed'. One of them had brought a tranny with him (calm down Jimmy - I mean a transistor radio) and we all stood around listening as the news came in.  It was a great time and a moment that is still crystal clear to me over 40 years later.  As we have commented on here many times before, it was an age when the West was at it's zenith and science seemed to promise that, once those pesky communists were sorted out, life would just keep getting better and better. Mankind was pushing itself to the very limits. As it turned out the huge accellerations in technology wrought by the space program, rather than delivering weekends on Mars and a care free life, have enslaved us all to computer driven global business and a lifestyle so unattractive that we spend all our time engaged in nostalgia.  Armstrong, in his quiet way, recently expressed disapproval of the American decision to suspend manned space exploration with the end of the Shuttle program. His death has marked the end of an era for me, and I miss it.

Buzz Aldrin shows he's still tough as hobnails, having a friendly discussion with a moronic Moon Landing conspiracy theorist.

I think you would've made a great Commie, George, shame we lost you to the other-side.

I'm looking for a 60s spacesuit in a 39R - anyone? Must be in full working order.

Re: NASA Ivy

I have one in 37R.  Perhaps the tailor could alter it to your size?  It does leak however... both liquids and gases, so you'll need that sorted also.
