I was fascinated by this old NASA film from 1955 on You Tube.
Wernher Von Braun explains how it should be done. Space travel that is.
The models he uses for this are quite wonderful. Have a look.
One of the models is this beautiful chunky teardrop space suit with thin arms.
It brought to mind Kenner's Star Wars CAP-2 some 22 years later.
and maybe their FX-7 too

There may even be a toy even more similar to Von Braun's space suit.
What do you think?
