Adam Savage Reviews Blitzway's 1/4 Scale Apollo 11 Astronaut!
Рет қаралды 74,813
Күн бұрынAdam prepares for one of the largest unboxings he's ever done at the cave: a massive box containing Blitzway's new Apollo 11 Astronaut statue. This mixed media figure recreates Neil Armstrong's moon landing at 1/4 scale, including his iconic A7L spacesuit and even part of the Lunar Excusion Module! Being intimately familiar with this spacesuit, Adam calls out his favorite parts of the figure as he displays it next to his 1/4 scale ISS Astronaut!

Shortly before Armstrong's descent to the lunar surface, the astronauts realized that the Lunar Module's digital clock had a fault and due to the takeoff from the Moon to rendezvous with Collins, who was in lunar orbit, they had to being very precise with respect to time and since they did not know if their watches could suffer any damage during the moon walk, Armstrong and Aldrin made the decision that Armstrong's Omega watch would remain on the instrument panel of the Eagle and the one that would descend to the Moon with his watch would be Aldrin.
