The long-forgotten history of the British moon spacesuit

Decades before NASA's Apollo program, the British Interplanetary Society wanted to go to the moon: in a spacesuit that looked like a suit of armour.

    Unfortunately, the British spacesuit model isn't available for anyone to wear, which is a shame! But it is on display at the Rocket Tower. And apparently one idea for that on-suit airlock was passing in sandwiches for lunch...

    Although the material and structural design were probably severely lacking compared to suits that actually made it to space, it is interesting to see how the British designers really focused on features that would support longer moonwalks and prolonged exploration. A blanket/cape for keeping warm, an on-suit airlock for taking in food and samples. A cane for assistance with walking and even sitting. All we are missing is the “moon steed”. A horse shaped vehicle that the British “astroknight” would ride into space battle.

    I like the idea of the chest airlock for grabbing space stuff to look at, and I'm extremely glad that no one got to try it on the moon. The theoretical British Astronaut would have found himself in quite the horrible situation once the moon dust was introduced into his environment, along with the rock. An excellent design for the time, really. We just didn't know that it was a terrible plan to be in the same space as moon dust. No moonrocks through the airlock. Only clean tools and sandwiches.

    I love that they went to the great effort of making that suit, and making it historically accurate in terms of materials and manufacturing. The suit is essentially artwork, but with great history and culture to it. It's nice as well to know that Britain made efforts towards the space race in those exciting pivotal years.

    But we did! Jet Morgan and his crew (admittedly including the token American, Doc) got there in the 1950s, and even travelled back in time into the bargain. The documentary series was the last radio programme to get a larger audience than TV, and repeats can still be heard from time to time on BBC Radio 4Extra. And don't forget Dan Dare, though by his time we'd got a lot further than the boring old Moon.

Swords are very, very effective when there is only a rubber layer between you and space" note- bullets have oxidizers, so they can shoot in space. But this is the case NOW. 1940's bullets? Especially 1940's Russian bullets? I have no idea.
