Dal sito museoscienza.org : "Questa tuta è uno degli oggetti storici più interessanti della storia dell'astronautica, rarissima testimonianza del progetto sovietico destinato a portare l'uomo sulla Luna. Come gli americani, negli anni Sessanta anche i sovietici sono impegnati attivamente nello sviluppo delle tecnologie e delle conoscenze indispensabili per riuscire a compiere questa incredibile missione. Ma il lanciatore destinato a vincere la gravità terrestre e raggiungere la Luna, il colossale N1, fallisce i collaudi. Il 20 luglio 1969 i sovietici vengono preceduti dagli americani che raggiungono per primi la Luna. Resteranno i soli in grado di farlo e lo faranno altre cinque volte. Da questo momento il progetto sovietico viene abbandonato e, per quasi 50 anni, viene addirittura negata la sua stessa esistenza; molti materiali vengono nascosti o addirittura distrutti. Questa tuta, sopravvissuta, è il segno tangibile dell'esistenza di quel progetto. Avrebbe dovuto essere indossata dai primi “conquistatori” lunari nell'esplorazione della superficie del nostro satellite. Il suo aspetto ricorda non poco quello delle tute da palombaro e non è difficile immaginare che proprio dall'esperienza acquisita nell'esplorazione dei fondali marini, ambienti ostili quanto la Luna, siano partiti gli ingegneri sovietici per capire come realizzare la loro tuta lunare."

Thank you. I was afraid that the cut of the subject would not like, but I wanted to focus my gaze on the strange choice of creating a metal casing, I assume in which to dive from the back.

Thanks Fabio. Even when I found myself in front of me I was stunned. If it were not at the museum in Milan I would have doubts about the authenticity ...

It's not the first Soviet space artifact I've seen. Every time I feel an emotion that is difficult to describe: a feeling of archaic, primordial, extremely artisanal. Materials more from science fiction movies than reality. Equipment that tried to protect the astronauts in an ancient way, a vague sense of inadequacy, the perception of the extremely hostile environment that those human beings had to face, I don't know if you felt the same emotions too, a greeting Pierluigi :-)

You described well the emotion that I also felt. Combined with respect for people who (even if they did not do so in this case) would have dared so much, that is, exposing themselves to risk with the protection of something completely new and of dubious reliability.
