We’re about to embark on a four year project to conserve, digitize, and display Neil Armstrong’s spacesuit in time for the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission in July 2019. Join us on Reddit to ask curator Cathleen Lewis and conservator Lisa Young anything about Neil Armstrong’s Apollo 11 spacesuit, our spacesuit collection, the history of spacesuit development, and the conservation and preservation of spacesuits.
Join us on the IAmA subreddit to participate. Please note to participate you must have a Reddit account.
