Smithsonian Using Kickstart Campaign To Save Armstrong’s Moon Suit

qpgmr writes: The Smithsonian is appealing for assistance to raise enough money to preserve Neil Armstrong’s moon suit. The “Reboot the Suit: Bring Back Neil Armstrong’s Spacesuit” campaign launched Monday on Kickstarter, marking 46 years since Armstrong’s moonwalk in 1969. Smithsonian reports: “….on the anniversary of that ‘small step for a man,’ the Smithsonian Institution announced a plan of action that is, in its own way, a giant leap for funding the job with what the Institution’s first federal Kickstarter campaign. With a goal of raising $500,000 in 30 days—by offering incentives such as exclusive updates to 3D printed facsimiles of the space suit gloves—museum officials hope to be able to unveil a restored spacesuit by the time of the 50th anniversary of the moon landing four years from now, in 2019.”
