During the Apollo program, they wound up awarding the space suit program to a company that primarily made Bras and Girdles. ILC, aka the company that makes "Playtex" won the contract, and produced very high quality suits. Why would a bra maker ever be the right company? Well, as it turns out, building form fitting clothes that are equivolume, close fitting, out of many different materials, is a skill, whether it's to keep a woman's bust under control or keep a pressurized atmosphere in against the harsh vacuum of space.
I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.
