@debcha@saturation.social Thanks for reminding us of these skilled, unsung women. I hadn't heard of them until I heard them interviewed on the Smithsonian podcast. 'A stitch misplaced by even 1/32nd of an inch would be unacceptable. We knew the man's life depended on it so we were very careful. The suits were sent to the hospital. Those suits got x-rayed. Just to make sure that there were no stray pins or anything. Because you can only imagine what a pinhole could do to a suit." https://www.si.edu/sidedoor/ep-1-outer-space-and-underwear
