We Make Spacesuits
Exploring inspiration • Inspiring Exploration
An exhibition held @ AHO Fall 2022
The NASA Apollo program ingrained a fascinating tale of courage, ingenuity and determination—a decade-long thrust towards the moon that inspired generations. Sending humans to space demanded fail-proof equipment, and most of it was handmade.As makers, we can appreciate a great build delivering on its promises. And the most iconic product of the Apollo era was the spacesuit — a one-manned spacecraft.
