After a quick look it appears that the original suit

I recently started reading more about the Space Race Era & Shuttle Era. What books and documentary videos would you recommend? I am currently reading Riding Rockets: The outrageous tales of a Space Shuttle Astronaut by Astronaut Mike Mullane & The Race: The complete true story of how AmericaBeat Russia to the Moon by James Schefter.
Thanks and Always be Testing,

I agree, great premium content!
Although, I’m still hoping that there will be a 3+ hour uncut version of a one-day-build in the future. The tidbits of knowledge in those are always a great source for movies to watch, topics to read up on and tools to add to the shopping list.
Was the creepy doctor who reference done on purpose?

Was that last line a Vashta Nerada reference?
Yes! I would love this as well
thanks for bringing this to my attention!
Awesome video, I’m absolutely loving the Premium content thus far.
I’ve really enjoyed Chris Hadfield’s “An Astronaut’s Guide to Life on Earth” as well as the documentary series “When We Left Earth” from Discovery (it jumps around a bit but it is still fascinating).
That would be amazing! make this happen!
If there were video thumbnail superlatives, this particular image would be voted most likely to inspire a tested.com fanfiction novel.
There’s an original one going on sale soon: http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn25227-us-glam-or-soviet-grunge-vintage-spacesuits-on-sale.html

Adam, if you’re still needing a Soviet necking for the second suit, I have one available.
God bless ya, man! You must be one of the happiest dudes on the face of the earth! My Extraordinary Gentlemen Sean Connery safari hat is WAY off to you!
That was awesome premium content.
For the record, Breitling is pronounced BRITE-ling.
Just saying. 😉
Thank you for the info. Wow! It sold for US $43,750 inc. premium. I guess our pricing is affordable after all.
So fun, great ending! Hah!
