ALBAWABA - The internet buzzed in the last couple of hours after an apparent real Soviet-era spacesuit was listed for sale on the famous online website "eBay".
A photo has gone viral on social media from eBay, reportedly showing a real lunar spacesuit from the soviet era offered for sale for expensive price, but with free delivery.
According to the eBay website, the description of the image reads, "SOVIET SPACESUIT KRECHET FOR MOON SURFACE OPERATIONS.
It added, "$350,000.00 and a free delivery." Additionally, the website mentioned that the location is in the United States.

Many people online questioned why the spacesuit is located in the U.S., although it dates back to the soviet era. The Soviet Union (USSR) was a confederation of 15 Soviet Socialist Republics (SSRs) that dissolved into independent nations in December 1991.
Several comments were made online, with some saying the suit should be taken by NASA. A person said, "Honestly, NASA should snag it for a display next to the Apollo suits for historical purposes."
Another questioned, "Why is it located in the US already?"

A person jokingly commented, "The free shipping is what makes it such a good deal.
no reason to buy without that."
It is worth mentioning that the Soviet Union absolutely sent missions to the Moon, but no Soviet cosmonaut ever landed on it. The U.S. beat them to a human landing with Apollo 11 in 1969, when Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walked on the Moon.
