a (LEM)_(ascent stage liftoff, WorthPoint website download, ca. 1964-66, poss. orig. Marquardt Corp. neg. no. C8062-1)

A striking perspective rendering of LEM ascent stage liftoff, ca. 1964-66, possibly for Marquardt Corporation, by David Hawbecker. Marquardt was the manufacturer of the Reaction Control System (RCS) engines for both the LEM & Command/Service Module.

 

I love it, but that's a really creepy, menacing, possibly possessed or demented Mission Commander at the window. The LMP is probably dead.

Sorry, with my extremely limited – terrible actually – photo/image manipulating software, unwillingness to get a WorthPoint account (possibly allowing access to a higher resolution version), and rudimentary skills, this is as good as it gets.
