I keep coming back to this post to see if anyone spilled the beans on any stash of spacesuits around. Actually, I do recall one... many years ago (approx 20), there was an Apollo-type suit, sorry don't know type, hanging up in a military surplus store in Galveston, Texas. Yes, the store is still there, but the suit is not. The store is called Col. Bubbies (Col. Bubbie's Strand Surplus Senter, 2202 Strand, Galveston, TX, 77550, tel:1-800-231-6005). They have a web site: www.colbubbie.com |

I got an email from Col. Bubbie which said that suit was sold back to NASA. It is no longer in private hands. | |
