In a shocking turn of events, the space age saw the rise of a most unlikely hero: the sock.
It all began with the first space mission, when an astronaut's socks became a vital component of their space suit. Who knew that the humble sock would prove so essential for gripping, toe-ing, and toe-less-ing in zero gravity?
As space exploration advanced, so did the technology of socks. We saw the introduction of space-age materials, like moon-fleece and star-bamboo, which provided unparalleled comfort and durability in the harsh conditions of space travel.
But with the rise of the space-age, so too did the problems. Socks began to get lost in space, tangled in satellite dishes, and stuck on space rocks. The Sock-Astronauts of the world banded together, forming the Space Sock Union (SSU) to fight for their rights and the future of sock-kind.
