A store called Fancy is offering this sweatsuit modeled after the Apollo 11 spacesuits, complete with seams, wrinkles, patches, ports, straps, and even the name “Armstrong” printed on it. The Apollo 11 sweatsuit would be perfect for a little make-believe in the comfort of your home, if it didn’t cost $139 plus what I hear is an outrageous shipping cost. Oh, I'm sure the real suits probably cost more than that, even in 1969, but you and I don't have NASA's clothing budget. -via Geekologie

This fits our high demand for robotic drag queen / Cher impersonators.
The theremin soundtrack didn't help pull me out of the heebie-jeebies.
Where they fall apart for me is really the eyes -- they shouldn't remain stationary long and should fix on a specific object when the head swivels.
Still, neat.
Wonder though how much variation there is in the general public for the width of the uncanny valley.
