About this book

U.S. Space Gear: Outfitting the Astronaut by Kozloski, Lillian D.. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781560983828.

From the earliest days of flight, design of comfortable yet protective flying clothing has proved almost as great a challenge as the creation of airplanes and spacecraft. With more than 150 illustrations, this volume shows how researchers and designers culled life-saving ideas from sources both expected and obscure: deep-sea divers equipment, pressurized inner tubes, tomato worms, and medieval armor.
