The story behind the original Apollo space suits is great[0]. All the top aerospace and defense contracting companies were bested by a Playtex (the bra and girdle company), which had more experience designing high performance clothing than anyone else in the 1950's and 1960's much to the embarrassment of the ex-military space flight types. Add in the designers breaking into offices to steal back their own designs to make the suits and I can't figure out why this never made it into a movie.
