Velcro kept the astronauts of Apollo 11 firmly fastened into their moon boots. It also latched their Omega watches to their wrists, attached their breathing tubes to their suits and served as nose scratchers inside their helmets. All told, there were 3,300 square inches of Velcro on the command and lunar modules during that 1969 mission.

It’s no surprise, then, that the NASA-infused legacy brand would want to shout out its indispensable role on the moon landing’s 50-year anniversary, which Andrew Ellis, vp global marketing, called “one of the proudest chapters in the Velcro brand history.”
