The official MythBusters website at one point sorted episodes by calendar year, but as of 2024, sorts them into 19 seasons (with the first being the three pilots). When the series was released on DVD , some seasons followed calendar years while others did not.
The MythBusters chose Marshall as one of several NASA locations for an episode to debunk the notion that NASA never landed on the Moon. The cast conducted tests involving a feather, a weight, a lunar soil boot print, and a flag in a vacuum.
This episode explored some of the MythBusters' favorite stores and vendors they use when buying supplies for the show. The episode also included a tutorial on how to make ballistics gel by Adam and Kari (which is frequently used in the MythBusters' experiments), and it revealed the source of the often referenced "Little Black Book", the Pocket Ref.
The episode also introduced Tory Belleci, Scottie Chapman, and Christine Chamberlain and became the first episode to extensively feature Build Team members or Mythterns.

The duct tape boat turned out to be fully functional with no sign of failure and, as stated by Adam, "adequately seaworthy", confirming the myth.
Adam and Jamie decided to wear coveralls through 2 to 3 inches (5.1 to 7.6 cm) per hour of artificial rain and compare walking and running weights to determine which absorbed more water (with bodysuits underneath to remove sweat absorption as a variable). The original test showed that running faster results in getting wetter, with wind only ...
