    Why is the most historic item of clothing there ever was, that was worn by the first man on the moon stuck in the corner of a hallway? It needs it's own spacey room on a lunar type surface or something.
  • @vitalcarry
    Surprised they only gave the suit two viewing angles. A 360 degree viewing display would've been great.
  • @Masada1911
    I love seeing somebody as stoked as Adam is in this video. Has a wholesome quality to it.
  • @mooferoo
    I'm so glad we have Adam in this world. All the years of his positivity, enthusiasm, and laughter have been such a help at times in my life.
  • @Steven-ze2zk
    There's moon dust on the knees of this suit. That gave me chills.
  • The spacesuit is honestly one of the most remarkable things man has ever created. We've developed clothing to the point that we can survive in the vacuum of space; Something we may take for granted now since technology is exponentially advancing with every new day, but pretty remarkable nonetheless.
  • @HHSTT
    Why is it in a corner? You should see it from every possible angle.
  • @jmiddlefinger
    I love how even though Adam was in the presence of this amazing piece of history which obviously absolutely floored him, he was equally excited about everything Lisa and her team had done to get it there. He seemed every bit as excited speaking to her as I imagine he would’ve been speaking to Neil Armstrong himself!
  • @Samlowry27B-6
    Adam is always so fun and super positive about everything he sees and works on but you could tell that was another level for him. like a 4 year old on Christmas day.
  • @Durrdalus
    Poor Neil, had to be in the suit with a clearly broken forearm
  • @controlZchannel
    Plot twist: Adam swapped his suit for Neil's when no one was looking.
  • @OrudoVansan
    Historical preservation+Cutting edge science+Cutting edge engineering=One Awesome Display of history for future generations.
  • @Fake_Blood
    That's as close to a hug you can get with a person you don't really know at the end of the video there. These two appreciate each other and it's beautiful.
  • @NegiTaiMetal011
    I love all Mythbusters members. Mythbusters may be over, but they'll always be Mythbusters in my eyes and are wonderful, entertaining, awesome people.
  • @sambiization
    The thumbnail is so sweet! I could feel the excitement and passion before I even clicked on the video. Can I be you when I grow up?

  • @airingcupboard
    Hope we can see a follow up with X-rays and pictures of the structure they used... great to see the suit!
  • @F-Man
    That suit is a true global treasure. Glad to see that it is well taken care of.
  • Also an actual example of awesome woman, being awesome because of what it does and how she acomplished it, and also how passionate she is about the project, not only because...
