Suiting Up Snoopy: Snoopy is the Zero Gravity Indicator Page

[MUSIC PLAYING] Artemis is NASA's plan to go back to the moon. And Snoopy is to be the zero gravity indicator. He will be tethered within the rocket so that you can tell when it hits zero-g. With every flight, the astronauts use some floating object to show them that they're in zero-g. And for this flight in particular, because there's no humans on it, it'll be really important for NASA to get that visual up to the ZGI. I knew that would be a challenge to make an outfit that got approved by the Space Agency. And I thought, Martin Izquierdo is the perfect person to build the Snoopy outfit. I'm a sculptor. And part of my life is working on small things. Working on the costumes, we had to deal with the reality of it going into space. But obviously, we're limited because of the scale. She [INAUDIBLE] me build the legs and the arms because they were too short. So we added an inch and a half on the length of the arms and the feet. Otherwise, we wouldn't even have any room for the details that we do have now. That's right. This goes on and fits in here. Inside, yes. Inside. OK. The helmet is made out of a shape that's more like a wide incandescent bulb, whereas the visor is made out of a perfect globe of plastic. And the complex curves of the helmet provided a challenge with how the visor would fit on top, not to mention the snout of Snoopy. And I love the challenge of taking these materials to create this unified piece. [MUSIC PLAYING]
