During the 1950s and 1960s, a spinoff branch of ILC was the largest producer of shapewear, or foundation garments, such as bras and girdles, in the United States, selling under a name you may recognize: Playtex!
The full story of the Playtex Moon suits will make you LOL.
In short, they worked on them for almost 3 years and failed. NASA canceled the contract and put it back out to bid with Playtex not invited. Playtex submitted anyway, two weeks late, and passed only 12 of the 22 tests. Of course Playtex won. They went to work with a skeleton crew of 12, and a couple of months later... voila! Working Moon suit! Good old American... ingenuity? No, I think "lying" was the word I was looking for.
What's interesting is that you can see this was written up in a mainstream outlet fairly recently for everyone to see. My point here is that you can lay it out and people still don't "see" it for themselves, and that phenomenon is actually more important than phony Moon suits.
But you know, whether it's the Moon landings or any of a zillion other things, what makes normies normies is not what they think, but how they think. That is, because they can't conceptualize that those they consider "authorities" could be lying, the evidence means nothing.
Like if you asked a normie, "Hey, do you think it's possible the Moon landings were faked?", unless the first thing out of their mouth is, "Yeah, it's possible, but...," then it simply doesn't matter how fake and how gay it all is.
The real state of the world--when you examine it closely--is way crazier than any lame-ass "space mission"... lol
I'm still struggling with how zippers and stitched seams can hold up to the vacuum of space. What a joke LOL!
Playtex won the suit stand-off with ease, passing 12 of the 22 tests. NASA declared there wasn’t a second-place finisher.
I've done engineering projects for big corporations involving lots of validation testing. Random vibration, dust ingress, cycling, thermal shock, etc... And even they weren't okay with bending the rules that far. Only exception I got was a failed drop test.
Weren't the old-school spacesuits from Playtex or some other "foundation garment" company?

Did you see the pictures on reddit of just how "strong the core of the spaceship was" despite us seeing how fake and gay it actually was.
I assume this is something they created afterwards due to the criticism of it being laughably fake a gay?
Haha, no, never saw that, but I can imagine!

Today I learned the new (to me) term "shapewear".
The comms were Motorola and they used Velcro.
So we get Gimps in Space before GTA 6?
