"Latest Interplanetary Design" in Space Helmets, 1953.

(via Paul Malon)
There were a lot of cheap-ass, ugly-ass "space helmets" produced in America in the 1950s-60s. But this one is the cheap-ass-iest, ugly-ass-iest one I've ever seen. It looks like it was made in about 10 minutes from shit from some guy's house. Previously: classroom of the future, according to 1950s Japan.
