1960s-70s GEMINI ERA FUELING ‘SCAPE SUIT’
............................................................................... PH $300-400

More than 100 VHS films featuring Science Fiction such as
‘Forbidden Planet’, ‘Them’ and ‘The Day The Earth Stood Still’
(original version). Also space documentaries with wide variety
such as ‘Women in Space’ and ‘Life On Mars’. In addition are
two films in canisters, one from Rockwell Space Division on
Orbiter 101 and other on ‘left side firing thrusters’ that probably
concerns booster performance.

Vintage Self Contained Atmospheric Protective Ensemble
(SCAPE) suit, complete with its rubber boots and gloves, was
utilized by missile silo and launch-pad team members engaged
in fueling and de-tanking of storable liquid propellants affiliated
with Titan launch vehicle and spacecraft reaction control
systems, and were later used on fueling other spacecraft. Suit
would have included its own backpack with breathing oxygen
to isolate the wearer from hazards of hyper-golic fuel and
oxidizer (propellants were extremely toxic and carcinogenic).
Material surrounding hoses has disintegrated, as they all have.
