Summary

Adam is rendered speechless meeting this green Apollo AX-1L developmental pressure suit--an engineering prototype made by ILC Dover in the very early days of the Apollo program. Smithsonian objects conservator Lisa Young explains how spacesuit designers experimented with rubber convolute joints and other features that would become traits of the spacesuits we're familiar with today.
