Inventor Allyn Hazard tests a prototype space suit, made by the Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corporation (later known as Grumman Aerospace Corporation, and then as Northrup Grumman), intended for use in NASA's Apollo moon landing program, Mojave Desert, California, early 1960s. By 1962 the achievement of the Mercury mission set America’s sights on a manned moon landing. The Mercury suit, while suitable for life in side the capsule, was inadequate for extravehicular activity. (Photo by Fritz Goro/The LIFE Picture Collection via Getty Images/Getty Images)
