This was one of the MAJOR highlights of our DC trip: the National Air and Space Museum's Mary Baker Engen Restoration Hangar, where objects conservator Lisa Young gives Adam Savage a tour of the artifacts currently being preserved! In addition to geeking out over an LM cockpit simulator, a "lunar rover, qualification test unit” and the Skylab 4 command module, Adam learns a LOT about the craft of conserving such historic pieces. (We had to practically drag him out.)

Lisa's own enthusiasm is just slightly more refined than Adam's - you can hear it sometimes when she's talking about what she's done and discovered and wanting to know more. "I haven't gotten to go inside yet..." My understanding is that on the VERY rare occasions that they open up Discovery her department sends out an email saying, "On this date we will be opening the Discovery for [reason]. There are [X number] people who will have access to the interior of the craft. Don't ask if you can go in and see it - most of us aren't allowed to, either." I'd share more funny stories I heard when I was a volunteer, but I don't want to give Adam any ideas. ;)

I saw it at the Smithsonian in 2010 and it was hanging sideways in a hallway with no posted documentation as to what it was for. It looked sad hanging up there and looking like it had been misplaced and forgotten. I assumed it was a Skylab mission capsule but didn't know anything more about it until I did some digging on the internet. I'm happy that it's getting some restoration work done and will be displayed in a new location.

I think you misunderstand, and didn't listen carefully. She said that the restorers don't have access to the manual/archive data, not that they have been lost altogether. She is speaking from the point of view of conservators. Conservators are not rocket scientists who need all the schematics, manuals for everything just to mainly clean up some display pieces. For sure the design data and probably most of the notes and everything is archived.

Interesting that SpaceX use NASA derived tech for their PICA-X heat shield and are able to make seemingly quite large tiles. Wonder why NASA wont use the same method. Maybe the Orion is rated for much higher reentry speed?

@@MagnusTS Thing is, Orion's heatshield failed some tests quite a while ago, and out of an abundance of caution, NASA fell back to the old 'tried and true' techniques of Apollo, instead of figuring out a new fix, and damn the cost torpedoeos. It's a very showing example of the reasons why that capsule costs as much as it costs. At least one of them.

Wow. Nice to see CM-118, the second last built and last flown. I also saw the fuselage of their Heinkel He 219 under restoration. Nice.

Of course, Skylab CM's would not need the same heat shield as those that went to the moon since they were not coming in as fast.

@MrGlenspace 4 жыл бұрын

k001daddy they did have some different configurations including more batteries for extended Skylab stays.

They were still hitting the atmosphere at between 16K and 17K mph....they definitely needed the heat shield....I don;t see how a Skylab shield and an Apollo moon mission one would've been much different...they were still going to be hitting temps in the thousands of degrees, and NASA tended to overbuild the safety margins in any case.

I love Adam and Lisa both acknowledging that Adam would want to sit on something, but they both knew he couldn't and wouldn't. In an odd way, it reminded me of my tactic for taking little kids into stores with fragile items, and the rule was "hands on your tummy or hands on your head, you can change from one to the other as often as you want to, but tell Mommy first" and it worked beautifully. Years after that rule was relaxed, my kids automatically tucked their hands in their pockets when walking around fragile things and that was hilarious to sse. So I got a kick out of seeing Adam with his arms folded while standing beside some exhibits that I know he was longing to touch.

The less bulky heatshield on Skylab CM could probably be a result of a slower reentry speed from Earth orbit than from translunar trajectory.

@@samsignorelli Absolutely true. My paternal great grandfather was found dead in the wood pile at the age of 97, still had the ax in his hand, he had 2 1/2 cord split and piled, almost ready for winter. In his last year he finally let the young fellas block with the chainsaw, till then he used a buck saw. On the other hand I had an aunt lose her marbles and move into a seniors home at 56.

I LOVE Adam and his enthusiasm for EVERYTHING space, but even I can see his bewilderment at the work and tools and the processes they use to do the work they do.......... And the glint in his eye to just want to learn sooooo much more about those tools and processes!!!!!!! The man is not only an American treasure, but an inspiration to the whole planet to learn and discover and make and replicate and create stuff!! (and this coming from an English man...... )
