Why wouldn’t it have the astronaut’s name stitched into it? Also, have you never seen a NASA/Air Force/Military uniform in general? They all wear their names somewhere.

minus-squareTar_Alcaran@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up0·4 months agoIt’s a 700k suit to make in today’s money. That doesn’t include R&D, and very notably doesn’t include things the life support backpack or helmet either. If you add those, you come to something like nearly 2 million in 1967 money, or nearly 19 million in modern money.
