The New York Times has compiled a slide show of American space suits from the early days of manned spaceflight through the Apollo program. Here's the associated article on the collection, which currently resides at the National Air and Space Museum.

It looks like the Smithsonian is organizing a traveling tour of imagery for this spring. Obviously, I'd rather see the actual suits, but I can't fault the museum for being unwilling to risk brittle and literally irreplaceable hardware that's older than me. Must keep an eye out for this one.

(H/T to Walter Jon Williams for the heads-up on this one.)
