Many years ago I remember "Stowaway to the Moon," a TV movie based on a young boy who gained access to, and boarded a Saturn V rocket destined for the moon.

The rocket lifts off and heads for the moon when the source of the extra weight on board the Saturn V becomes apparent... yes the crew discover their non-paying passenger. The story concludes with the boy saving one of the crew who become space sick.

Capt. Pete was the "Color" guy to explain what was happening during the mission - and what the effects were because of the stowaway.

The movie was famous because it was the first where NASA lent them suits and equipment as Apollo was almost over by then.

Were the spacesuits used in the 1975 TV movie "Stowaway to the Moon" test articles? For instance, see 12 minutes, 56 seconds.
