Great pics! Close up, it looks like a science fair project!
One detail that was really convincing was the temperature on the moon. I don't remember exactly, but it was something like a 200 degree-difference in the shadow vs in the sun. If their spacesuit could keep them comfortable in those extremes, we can be sure that they would have made those materials available commercially. But no such fabric is on the market.
That's right, Monica. The extreme temperatures on the moon would render our astronauts frozen to the core or burnt to a crisp. They had no radical temperature regulation apparatus in their suits. And this is just one of many inconsistencies of the whole project. There is not a chance in hell Apollo could have accomplished a moon landing with the technology of the time.
