A Suit For The First Man on the Moon (1961)

Sunday, June 28, 2009 at 2:56 PM

The August 6, 1961 Post-Standard Sunday magazine (Syracuse, NY) ran a short piece about an Experimental Engineering class at UCLA that was experimenting/playing with a "moon man's suit."

Designed by Allyn B. Hazard, the suit also appeared on the cover of Life magazine's April 27, 1962 issue. The entire two-page spread from the Post-Standard can be viewed below.

And the Major Matt Mason fans among us will also recognize this suit.
