Smithsonian Curator Breaks Down The Spacesuits That Have Been Used in Movies Like ALIEN, SUNSHINE, and More
GQ recently sat down with Dr. Cathleen Lewis, curator of International Space Programs and Spacesuits at the Smithsonian Institution's National Air and Space Museum, to talk about the spacesuits that have been used in movies.
She breaks down each of the suits and offers some interesting insight on them that film buffs are sure to appreciate. The films discussed in the video include Star Trek, Gravity, Alien, Prometheus, The Martian, Moonraker, Destination Moon, Stargate: Atlantis, Armageddon, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Outland, Moon and Sunshine.
It’s actually pretty fascinating to watch her talk about these classic pop culture space suits, so I hope you enjoy this!
