Watch Adam Savage as He Explores The Apollo 11 Command Module

Fellow NASA geeks! I’ve got a new video here from Tested in which Adam Savage checks out the original Apollo 11 Command Module. This thing is so cool! I’ve never had the opportunity to see this in person, but I hope to see it one day.

We all know Adam is obsessed with Apollo 11, and while visiting the National Air and Space Museum's Mary Baker Engen Restoration Hangar, he had a special opportunity to view the Columbia Apollo 11 command module up close. Objects conservator Lisa Young takes Adam through some of the work her team is doing on this historic artifact, differentiates between the pre-flight and post-flight marks on the exterior, and lets him peek inside, revealing the three-person crew's tiny living quarters for most of the mission!

I’ve been fascinated by NASA since I was a kid. I love this stuff, and it’s cool to see people like Savage get to explore it with experts who can offer some interesting insight.
