I read Scott Kelly’s book and he said the Sokol is sealed by gathering material together and then holding it in place with rubber bands? I’m not doubting this but I really can’t see how on Earth (pardon the pun...) that works?! 🤷‍♂️

How is this possible Tim? I thought that there were a limited number of spacesuits that were used. Has this suit been decommissioned or is it just not needed at the moment? 😉 xx

Dear Tim, Very fortunate to meet you at the ASCL conf. I wanted to say I respected, and appreciated, you taking the time to meet delegates. Inspirational If I can encourage my daughter to achieve,and still be down to earth as you appear, I believe she can go far. Thank you, Nevil
