I already paid for this with taxes. I am little curious how fragile a suit that survived the hazard of a moon walk could actually be.

Forty six year old state of the art material has a life excpendicy. Do you have clothes this old? I understand some of you believe the landing didn't happen but just in case it actually did and this country survives(it will) then maybe your grandchildren might be interested. Just sayin'.
