Director Stanley Kubrick, however, deliberately had all of his spacesuits destroyed, since he was aware of the fate of the spacesuits from Destination Moon and did not want his own creations to resurface in any lesser films.
Gary Westfahl as interviewed by Diane Tedeschi in Hollywood’s Spacesuits, in the Smithsonian’s Air & Space Magazine, talking about the iconic suits from 2001. Destination Moon’s suits were reused by several later films. (Thanks to Dan W and Fred Scharmen for the nudges.)
