| Description: | News in Brief: Space Suit. Yesterday's science-fiction is today's reality. The U.S. Air Force displays a new high-altitude pressure suit that could double for any space-cadet space suit. Man attaches a mask onto a helmet that says "Boeing." Another man puts on a similar mask/helmet. Engineers help hook up the guy into his very early space suit; he has hoses attached to him. The would-be spaceman is apparently testing the breathing and mobility in this outfit; sitting, he moves around a bit and flashes the OK sign with his hand. Narrator says, sounding somewhat skeptical, "All he needs is a rocket ship to go to the moon - and that may be next, who knows." | |
