Guy in town selling Mercury pressure suit
« on: 07/31/2009 09:24 pm »
I just saw this on my local news. This is great! I wish this would go to a museum instead of to a private collector, but I understand the need to make some money. I don't know if anybody here has big bucks, but I would rather see this go to a real dedicated space buff, possibly someone who has worked in the space program, than to just any rich guy seeking it as an investment only. The bids start at $50,000.

This appears to be a prototype of some sort, a display prototype or something, not a flown suit, but still, quite an awesome artifact!
