What are the challenges of mounting a museum exhibition featuring massive, delicate and culturally sensitive artifacts, from spacecraft to sarees to R2D2? Well, it's everything from the floor's weight load capacity to the size of the doors to the equipment required for transportation and installation. At Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum Adam Savage speaks to Emily Weeks -- who has one of the coolest job titles EVAR -- about the obstacles she and her team overcame in putting together the brand-new "Futures in Space" exhibition.
The “Futures in Space” exhibition is now OPEN at the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum.
