Three heroes, one capsule, infinite dreams

Space and space missions fascinate me. I went to the National Air and Space Museum in Washington DC. A lot is currently under reconstruction, less than half is on display. I was fascinated by the Apollo mission. The museum has the Apollo 11 Command Module that returned from the first manned lunar landing mission in July 1969, here taken with a fisheye lens. Neil Armstrong, Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin, and Michael Collins were launched from Cape Kennedy atop a Saturn V rocket.

 

I processed a balanced and a paintery HDR photo from a RAW exposure, blended them selectively, and carefully adjusted the curves and color balance. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.
