Richard Francis Gordon Jr. (1929-2017) was born in Seattle and attended the University of Washington. He was a pilot for the Navy before being selected in 1963 to be an astronaut for NASA. He was the pilot of the 1966 Gemini 11 mission and orbited the Moon as the command module pilot for the 1969 Apollo 12 mission. These inflight coveralls consist of a jacket, pants, and booties which all attach to one another. It is made of a fire-resistant Teflon fabric and has Velcro on the soles of the booties. The fabric is quite slippery, which makes it easier to put on and take off in a weightless environment. The labels specify that these were made for Gordon in 1970 and 1971, which means they may have been used while training as the back-up commander for the Apollo 15 mission. Gordon was scheduled to walk on the Moon during the Apollo 18 mission, but it was cancelled due to budget cuts. He retired from NASA in 1972.
