I was at NASA HQ for a meeting this afternoon. While waiting for my contact in the West Lobby, I noticed a display case over by the gift shop. It contained an A7L space suit with an "F. Borman" name tag, a PLSS, and what appeared to be a Gemini helmet. There was no mission patch on the A7L suit. Does anyone know about these items? Was the A7L a training suit? I didn't have time to look for any placards for the display, if there were any.

All times are CT (US)
