Nasa ei ole vielä [toukokuussa 2019] esitellyt kuumiehistönsä avaruuspukuja. Niiden pitäisi kestää noin sadan asteen lämpöä auringonpaisteessa. Pukuun on siksi kehitettävä hyvä viilennys. Sen pitää myös kestää vaarallista avaruus-säteilyä.[1] —Timo Paukku
Avaruushistorian mukaan Nasalla on ollut toimivat avaruuspuvut valmiina jo 1960-luvulta lähtien, jotka kestivät tyhjiössä olevan ilmakehättömän Kuun +100°C asteen auringonpaahteen, -200°C asteen varjon kylmyyden, mikro-meteoriitit, avaruussäteilyn, auringon soihdut, aurinkomyrskyt jne.
Missä alkuperäiset kuupuvut ja niiden tekniset piirustukset ovat?

[...] I happened to stumble upon a couple of fascinating articles on Space.com – and by "fascinating," I mean that they unintentionally raise questions about the legitimacy of the Apollo missions, as so frequently happens whenever NASA types talk about going 'back' to the Moon. In one of the articles, we find Michael Wargo, identified as the "chief lunar scientist for Exploration Systems at NASA Headquarters," contemplating a return trip to the Moon: "'None of our spacesuits that we currently have would be appropriate for that extreme an environment,' [says Wargo]. Any materials built for Earth-like temperatures won't work on the moon. 'They don't bend anymore, they fracture, and they fracture brittle-y, and so everything gets extremely brittle at those temperatures.'" ("Water Discovery Fuels Hope to Colonize the Moon," November 13, 2009) And so we discover that there is yet another piece of 1960s technology that has now fallen into an all-consuming black hole: non-brittle materials from which to fashion spacesuits suitable for lunar exploration. —Dave McGowan, Wagging the Moondoggie: Part XIII, The Center for an Informed America, (Jul 13, 2010).
Wikipedia, it should be noted, contains a much different version of events than what was provided by [documentary] Moon Machines [2008], including a claim that ILC began designing spacesuits "as early as 1955." The version provided by the Science Channel, however, came directly from the people who were involved in the project. And the company's own promotional materials hold that "ILC started designing suits on 1961; started making test and prototype suits in 1964; and started delivering suits for use by Apollo astronauts in 1966." —Dave McGowan, Wagging the Moondoggie: Part IX, The Center for an Informed America, (Nov 29, 2009).
