Soviet space suit for lunar surface operations... So you're saying it's untested, huh?

Pricey. Duct tape is much cheaper.

Until you realize you don't know how to get you, while someone takes off the shoes and starts to tickle.

That’s because it has two pair of pants. — Jose Jimenez

I remember back in the days when Ebay didn't have any selling restrictions, there was someone selling an Alfa class Soviet sub for something like 3.5 million.

Elon would buy it if he was capable of getting a rocket to the moon.
