It's finally time to resume work on The Martian spacesuit costume build! In the two years since we last checked in on the project, Frank Ippolito has moved into a new shop and has been chipping away on 3D printing crucial parts to the costume. Adam spends the day at Frank's shop to survey the pieces and start work on the helmet!

I think about this build every six months or so and come back to check. Cant wait for this to come around. Such an intricate suit and a serious feat, not sure if anything on this show has taken this long to complete.

I can't over emphasise how happy I am to have watch Frank's business take off, initially on Tested and then via Twitter. I really feel like I've had the privilege to watch a titan of the industry be born and follow them as they've exploded onto the scene. Give it a year or two, and Frank's props will be the ones everyone is trying copy, inspiring a whole new generation of makers and re-energising the existing one. I take my hat of you sir, it is extremely well deserved!

@mmseng2 5 жыл бұрын

+1. It actually behooves Norm to be (or act) genuinely uninformed, because it makes the specialists naturally want to explain their work in an accessible way, rather than being a bunch of unintelligible insider jargon speak (to the wider audience). In fact, getting this video-friendly communication out of a specialist can be difficult (my manager has to do this to me on occasion), and Norm makes it look like a natural talent, intentional or not. This is especially obvious when he works with Frank, IMO. You can frequently see Frank stop to rethink his words and phrasing, or come up with analogies, when he starts to go full geek and realizes he's talking to Norm, and not one of his shopmates. Here's to Norm, putting in the work and taking the knocks for us Normies.

@emilylindstrom724 5 жыл бұрын

Yep, I'm sure Norm knows 50 times as much as he acts like he does, and he does a good job of paraphrasing into mundane English.

@iWhacko 5 жыл бұрын

sure, but a 19 minute video where most of it is talk, feels a bit overdone. I feel I saw nearly nothing of the build. I mean I didn't even see Adam milling the aluminium.

@Noeland 5 жыл бұрын

I think Norm is very likable. In this video though he asks about the support material in the 3D print right after Frank already explained it to Adam. That question from Norm should have been cut from the video IMHO, but it hardly took away from the joy of seeing people fabricate. I could watch people making props all damn day. I love fabrication.

There's 2 Sony Action Cameras on the sides of the helmet and a GoPro on the shoulder boom. No clue why you'd need 3 forward facing cameras but that's what they did.
