I seen this on eBay. Too expensive for me, but it is a very interesting application of a vacuum cleaner. I love unusual vacuums like this. The funny thing about it is it looks like a Hoover Pixie, even though it was made in 2009. lol

The seller suggests it's the first vacuum probably used. He shows a pic of a similar vac being used in 1996. There is a picture staying it's not for flight.
It's not the first and not a vacuum used in space.

I wanna know why some dickhead NASA engineer decided it needed to be wrapped in that aluminum foil duct tape to qualify it as a 'space' cacuum.

When I saw this I thought it was some kid's project for a science fair.

You took the words right out of my mouth.

Most collectors who have Hoover products HAVE that "Pixie"... Ceylon yellow, anyone?
Ann Haines gave me the from the 'vault'.
