I just seen an article on this and its actually pretty interesting and surprising. It seems that a bra manufacturing company allowed us to walk on the moon. they were the only company really capable of the 1/32 stitching tolerance, and maintain that through not 1 layer, but 21 layers using no pins and no seem rippers in one try.

Yeah, I tell students all the time, the zipper in your drysuit (a pressure zipper) was developed by NASA, and is typically the most expensive piece of your suit.
