Buy a real Apollo spacesuit and finally live out those childhood dreams

13-spacesuit.jpgThere comes a point in everyone's life when they have to face an irrefutable fact: they're never going to be an astronaut. It might have been your dream when you were a kid, but the opportunity for it to happen passed a long time ago, and it's just not in the cards for you. How sad! But hey, that doesn't mean you can't come a little closer to the dream than you are now.

Look, you can buy a super-accurate Apollo 11 spacesuit! Just like the ones they wore on that mission! It's an exact replica taken from authentic NASA Apollo-era A7L garments, and it's awesome. Of course, a real spacesuit isn't cheap: this will set you back a whopping $9,500. But that's a small price to pay for a sliver of your childhood dreams, isn't it?

Wow, that really is cool. Looking at it closely, however, I'm amazed to believe how we sent someone to space in it!
