      This is how conspiracy theories ought to work. Perfectly fine to raise a question, and dismissed when you get the answer. Absent is the rampant speculation and unfounded claims.

        It’s a ~$700,000 space suit custom tailored for a single astronaut on a single mission. Why wouldn’t it have the astronaut’s name stitched into it?

        Also, have you never seen a NASA/Air Force/Military uniform in general? They all wear their names somewhere.

        Custom tailored suits that have to fit you perfectly so you don’t die. And might have to put them on very fast in an emergency, in low or zero g, with potential limited light. Big, high contrast, labels are probably helpful.

        Also, these things were tested and iterated on repeatedly. If something is on that suit, it’s often because it’s solving a problem that was identified in a past test.
