Thinking same thing --Craigboy (talk) 01:02, 14 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

And a picture has been added. --Craigboy (talk) 05:54, 1 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This is one of those things that seems too obvious to point out, but is that Neil Armstrong in the current headline image? On the one hand it looks like him, and there are photos of Armstrong posing in a Gemini suit (although a different model), but on the other hand the photo looks to be of the same man, in the same session, as this image, which is apparently a NASA employee called Fred Spross. The current headline image doesn't have much of an internet footprint. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 18:48, 4 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Will add info about use on Apollo Program[edit]

I believe some form of the suits were used on Apollo 1 ~~and Apollo 7~~. I'll do some research and add it. --Craigboy (talk) 19:35, 21 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Gemini V Tag removal[edit]

This relates to the removal of the "Gemini V" label from a caption in the images section. I removed it because this image is different than the other two, the others demonstrate different EVA configurations but this image represents how the astronaut would enter the suit which was way they did through all the Gemini G4C suits and as far as I know the rear-entry zipper remained unchanged through the different suit variations.--Craigboy (talk) 23:20, 8 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

NOMEX used in Apollo 1 suit???[edit]

The article states: "This version [A1C] added a white NOMEX cover layer from the G4C and G5C suits,". The Nomex page calls it a "flame-resistant" material commonly used in racing and firefighting equipment, and says it was "first marketed in 1967." The Apollo 1 fire burned through Grissom's, White's and Chaffee's suits. Now conditions were extreme (more than one full atmosphere of pure oxygen), so it might be possible the NOMEX would burn in those conditions, but I've never seen the suits described as anything other than "nylon" in any of the literature. On a second reading, I see NOMEX is referred to in the Gemini suits, so you couldn't really say it was added for A1C; therefore I'm just removing it. (However, there is no citation of the NOMEX.)
