Nicholas de Monchaux's book "Spacesuit: Fashioning Apollo" (MIT Press, 2011) tells the real story of how International Latex Corporation (ILC), better known by its consumer brand for bras and girdles "Playtex," came to produce the spacesuit worn by the Apollo astronauts on the moon. De Monchaux's tale of the bra makers' lunar legacy is now being adapted into a movie for Warner Bros. by screenwriter Richard Cordiner.
