Campaign to save Neil Armstrong's spacesuit

A Kickstarter campaign has been launched to preserve the spacesuit Neil Armstrong wore on the moon.

Nearly five decades old, the suit is slowly breaking down and in urgent need of repair.

The suit was only designed for short-term use and now the Smithsonian Institute in the United States is attempting to raise the $500,000 needed to repair and secure it for the future.

The campaign has 30 days to secure the money.
