In grade school, one kid's father worked at a nearby NASA facility, who showed up one day for a presentation in the cafeteria to our grade. I remember him tossing a cup of LOX on a drape. Little did anybody know the dangers at the time, too distracted by the oohs and ahhs of PDQ vaporization.
He also brought along Glen's pressure suit from the Mercury flight.
That must have been GREAT being a grade school kid and seeing Glenn’s pressure suit!
I had to be happy with the GI Joe with that silver astronaut suit that flaked all the silver off!
