Kneeling Armstrong

Menno van Wyk takes the suit for a practice run.

I still remember the email that came across my desk. It was clearly a legit request for a yoga teacher and students to do a commercial for the Museum of Flight in Seattle. The pitch sounded hilarious: put someone in an astronaut’s suit and run them around town doing normal activities, including a few yoga poses. This was so up my alley, how could I resist?

I emailed back immediately thinking I was likely too late. However, not only was I not too late, I was the only one in town who wanted to do it!
