JD's Christmas List, Part 1

Just in case anyone was wondering what to get me for Christmas, here's something I've been admiring all year from the Countdown Creations at THE SPACE STORE website:

Apollo 11 Spacesuit Replica

Step into the boots of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin — literally — as you donn this museum-quality replica of their iconic spacesuit, the same they wore to make mankind's first small steps and giant leaps across the Moon's Tranquility Base!

The design and molds for this spacesuit replica were taken from an authentic NASA Apollo-era A7L garments. They are built to our exact specifications with the highest attention paid to every detail.

Made from a heavy weight Nylon Cordura, this suit was built for wear and tear. It can be worn or placed on display. Truly fantastic for the collector or museum. Features:

I have no idea what I'd do with this. Be fun to have one, though.
