nomex used in apollo suit the article states this version a c added a white nomex cover layer from the g c and g c suits the nomex page calls it a flame resistant material commonly used in racing and firefighting equipment and says it was first marketed in the apollo fire burned through grissom's white's and chaffee's suits now conditions were extreme more than one full atmosphere of pure oxygen so it might be possible the nomex would burn in those conditions but i've never seen the suits described as anything other than nylon in any of the literature on a second reading i see nomex is referred to in the gemini suits so you couldn't really say it was added for a c therefore i'm just removing it however there is no citation of the nomex
