Adam Savage’s One Day Builds: EPIC Spacesuit! (Part 1)

For the first time, we document the build of Adam’s spacesuits in its entirety! Inspired by a next-generation xEMU design, Adam and his collaborators spent months building two spacesuit costumes worn in our short film “The Beacon“--celebrating the relaunch of the gaming network G4. To kick off this multi-part series, we jump back to the beginning of the summer as Adam begins the project in earnest, starting with the literal hard parts of the suit’s frame and inner shell.
