ILC Dover with some help from Playtex.
The Apollo 11 space suits were white with a removable outer layer. They had a life support backpack and were made of multiple layers to protect astronauts from extreme temperatures, micrometeoroids, and radiation. The helmets had a visor that could be lowered to protect from the sun's glare.
The Apollo suits were made Hamilton Standard (now Hamilton Sundstrand), and ILC Dover. There are two kinds of Space Shuttle suits. One made by also made by Hamilton Standard and ILC Dover, and the other made by David Clark Company
Astronauts wore specially designed space suits called Extravehicular Mobility Units (EMUs) when walking on the moon. These suits protected astronauts from the harsh conditions of space, including extreme temperatures, micrometeoroids, and the lack of atmosphere. The suits were custom-made for each astronaut to ensure a proper fit and functionality during their missions.
Apollo 7 was the first crewed mission of the Apollo program and launched from Earth. It was the first time astronauts tested the lunar module, the Command and Service Module, and the rendezvous procedures in space.
The building of Apollo spacecraft was managed out of the Johnson Space Center (known then a the Manned Spacecraft Center), a NASA center near Houston, Texas. The primary contractor was a company named North American Aviation. The company later merged with Rockwell-Standard and became North American Rockwell -- later renamed Rockwell International. Today the part of the company that was the prime contractor for Apollo is part of Boeing.
The first full pressure-suits for use at extreme altitudes were designed by individual inventors as early as the 1930s.

Al Worden told me there are over 500 Apollo suits alone in archival storage at the Garber facility in Washington D.C. I would assume there are considerable fewer Mercury and Gemini suits and many more Shuttle suits. I'm not sure of the actual count, but it wouldn't surprise me if there were close to 3,000.
Because there is no AIR in space, and we need AIR (that is in very simple terms....).
because thay'd get lost then you would have lost in space......lol

Regal Tires are made by a company called Apollo Tyres.
Apollo 13 had an explosion while encourse to the Moon. Luckily, the three astronauts inside were able to survive and make it back to Earth alive. The mission reminded people of the dangers of space exploration. The mission's story has been made into a movie, Apollo 13.
No, Apollo 11 was not the first rocket to launch into space. The first artificial satellite, Sputnik 1, was launched by the Soviet Union in 1957. Apollo 11 was the mission that landed the first humans on the moon in 1969.
