- A Russian Soyuz Sokol KV-2 pressurized crew "rescue" suit that includes a helmet, gloves, boots, and slip-ons -- and was once used in a space mission -- is just one of the strange and surprising artifacts going on sale this month at RR Auction.read moreRR AuctionShare
- Neil Armstrong’s Apollo training glovePart of the A7L suit -- the primary pressure suit for the Apollo missions -- was precisely molded for the hand of the first moonwalker. Going on auction is this mock-up made prior to launch.
