    Not up to my usual standard, because I didn't write the title, it was changed. Tongue Out

    That was my fault. I changed it via my phone, looks like it didn't take. I'll make the change.

    So the suite thing was a mild error on my part, as I mentioned. However suit can be used as space suit or a business suit.

    Great article. I had no idea this was going on. I had the great pleasure of seeing the Smithsonian Air and Space museum when I was 10 and it is a very powerful experience.

    I was surprised to see federal funding does not cover this (I really shouldn't be...) but I am incredibly pleased to see this icon of exploration preserved for future generations.

    Thanks for sharing!


    -Edit-

    There was a question at the bottom as well: Would you go into outer space as an Apollo astronaut?

    In a New York minute.
