I was sitting at Barnes & Noble yesterday reading Air and Space Magazine and saw that a book is being published in June about all of the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo spacesuits at the Smithsonian. It is being put together by Amanda Young, the Smithsonian’s Museum Specialist of the spacesuit collection. The book, Spacesuits: Within the Collections of the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum, features an x-ray of Alan Shepard’s Apollo 14 suit used to determine how the materials break down over the years. There will be a book signing in July, which I hope to be in town for.
