Adam Savage’s One Day Builds: Project Egress Apollo Hatch!

To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the moon landing, Adam Savage and the Smithsonian Institution collaborated on Project Egress, a plan to create a LIFE-SIZE replica of the Apollo 11 command module hatch! The build entailed hours of planning, scanning and organizing the 40-plus artists who would contribute parts, and it all culminated on July 18, 2019, when Adam and a team of makers assembled the hatch LIVE at the National Air and Space Museum!

Hey Adam, can you dig up props from Airwolf? The Rc's used and the rebuild of the 222 remake of it (if you do find the original build it would be awsome ) and the set where we was able to see inside the chopper with Dom in the back and String? I now this is a hard one but, if anyone can make it happen it is you. There are almost NOTHING behind the scenes from that show.. Interviews from some of the actors is the best ive found but almost nothing how they did it and how or the set no nothing 😒

I am a machinist today, because of Adam Savage and many of the contributors to this project! I believe that Oxtoolco made that assembly at around 11:10. He writes some great books, and I've learned a lot from him. This Old Tony and NYCNC are also great channels if anybody else is interested in that sort of thing and I believe they contributed as well.

That pressure equalization valve was built by Tom Lipton He also goes by Ox Tools. He really needs to get some acknowledgement for a lot of time he spent making sure it was totally accurate....to the point that it probably would easily work on a flight rated Apollo hatch.

[@tomthompson7400]

[@truthsmiles]

Thanks for this comment. I went and found the 7(!) part series of his build and watched every minute. Such an incredible amount of care and craftsmanship went into his build, and I 100% agree that his part could have easily worked on the Apollo. I would trust my life to his work, and I'm sure the astronauts would too. It's actually kind of a shameful waste it went on a non-functioning display piece.

[@dave1812]

Tom's Part is by far the best part of this build, closely followed by NYC CNC and ToT

Tom's part is functional (of his own admission) and he went the furthest because he got original build plans to make it. I have no doubt in my mind that you could swap it with the original if that could be possible, and nobody would know it.

[@1pcfred]

The real Apollo spacecraft had 400,000 makers involved. It was also the most powerful machine ever built by Man.

[@lordgarak]

I was slightly disappointed that John Saunders' assembly didn't get more attention. It's nearly a nice as Tom Lipton's. This should of been a two day event. One day of just unpacking the parts and meeting each maker. Not just a rush to assemble the full thing. A model of the ISS would be a fun project to do as a maker collaboration like this.

[@SteveSummers]

Tom Lipton's part is probably better than the original 😁. So many of my friends involved in this project. Very nice job on all the parts. Congratulations!

[@dolvaran]

Yes - the machinists' parts were by far the most spectacular. 3D print has its place, but there was too much in my view. Such a shame Jimmy's hinges didn't survive the journey - they were very beautiful. But the gearbox (NYC CNC), the pressure release valve (Tom), the handle (can't recall who) and Fran's exquisite latch stole the show for me.

[@saravanakumar2765]

All the best 👍 for your friends

[@riffraff60]

Came here to say this

[@priitmolder6475]

Tom Lipton works at Berkley Labs. A sub-contractor to the real space programs. So, technically, the closest to an original part anyone could ever make!

[@DC_ABC_123]

Yeah probably not though. Even if any of these parts were dimensionally perfect to the drawings provided, they're still made from a guy that drew his dimensional conclusions from a 3D scan. Also, unlike the original, they not only lack the geometric tolerances present in the originals, but the materials used are certain to be outside the spec of the original parts. That being said, it's obvious that some talented machinists had their hands in the recreation of this.
