a (LEM)_(ascent stage liftoff, 1965 Marquardt Corp. ad, internet download)
A stunning depiction of LEM ascent stage liftoff, from a 1965 Marquardt Corporation ad, by David Hawbecker. Marquardt was the manufacturer of the Reaction Control System (RCS) engines for both the LEM & Command/Service Module.
Only through the gracious assistance & skills/talent of Garrett O’Donoghue/”Numbers Station” am I able to post this image that’s otherwise GONE.
Nice to see Mr. Hawbecker’s RCS exhaust plumes evolved from the previous ’sputtery’ look, to be continuous, with shock diamonds no less.

Garrett is pulling some gems - from the near, distant and everything in-between - past, and making them available. Treat yourself to a veritable visual cornucopia:
