Dover Beat the Russians!
A.N. Spanel is beaming!
The seamstresses came over from Playtex or answered a job ad in local paper to try out for a place at ILC.
The engineers were hell bound to win the suit contract so they could beat the Russians and the gadgeteers used to make model planes!
This is a story of normal. That is 1965 normal when boasting was still uncool and rigorous tests were expected… from sewing doll clothes to stitching for Neil Armstrong Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins was all in a day’s work.
Really?
They say science is an art...
Well it is..In Dover!
Meet the Dover artists... Meet the engineers and seamstresses... the men & women who made the suit and made the moon walk possible...
