The Apollo Mission Control Center. This actually went operational for the later Gemini missions and was used for all Apollo missions. This was restored, but all the equipment is the orignal stuff. On the right is the Mission Director's position. The tube sitting on the table is a pneumatic tube (like they use in bank drive throughs), used to communicate with all the engineers downstairs. On the left you can see the speaker that played the audio feed from the astronaut's communications. Through this were heard the words such as "Houston, we have a problem" and "a giant leap for mankind". Note that there are no monitors or keyboards. Those were not invented when this was designed.

This image was taken a few days back at Stourhead, Wiltshire. A second image taken from the Temple of Apollo which overlooks the garden at Stourhead.
Weather conditions were mixed with cloud to blue skies and then finishing off with some cloud and rain.
This is a Gumpert Apollo S and I think it looks very awesome... yeah I like it.

The Apollo GT was built from 1962 through 1965 in California. It featured a 3.5L aluminum Buick V-8 and a body inspired by many Ferraris from the era as well as the Jaguar XKE. Only 88 were produced. For more information:
This was what drew me to Titusville and Space View Park, last night, July 16, 2019, the 50th anniversary of the #Apollo11 launch.
Meet the Apollo monument. According to the American Space Museum & Space Walk of Fame website, "the monument groundbreaking was held on July 16, 1999, at precisely 9:32 a.m., exactly 30 years after 'Lift Off' of Apollo XI."
So, this was where I decided I would capture the rise of the Full Moon, exactly 50 years (plus 11 hours) after "Lift Off" of Apollo XI.
I arrived a few minutes before moonrise, but I failed to account for how dense the trees were in the background, which meant I needed to wait until the Moon was higher in the sky. This is 35 minutes after moonrise and 40 minutes after sunset, and the monument isn't lit, which meant the scene was quite dark. Solution: My rarely used speedlight. But, there were also powerlines and tree branches in the way, so really didn't like anything I was getting.
After a 24-hour cooling off period (I was rather frustrated with the scene last night; the gazillion mosquitoes weren't helping my mood, either) I revisited the images and found this one. The monument isn't in focus (I had to shoot closer than I intended), and the Moon is partially obscured (by a tree and aforementioned monument), but here it is.
Aside from the mosquitos, it was a pretty terrific being there, and I was able to hang around to catch the ISS flying overhead a few minutes later.
TL;DR: #Apollo50!

Wikipedia schreibt:
Die Apollo-Brücke (auf slowakisch: Most Apollo; geplant als Most Košická: Brücke der Kaschauer Straße) ist die neueste Brücke in Bratislava, Slowakei, über die Donau. Sie wurde am 5. September 2005 eröffnet. Die Brücke ist 854 Meter lang, mit einem 231 Meter langen Hauptbogen über die Donau. Durch diese Brücke sollen die anderen drei großen Donaubrücken, die Prístavný most (im Zuge der Autobahn D1), die Starý most und die Nový most entlastet werden.
Benannt ist die Brücke nach der 1895 in Bratislava gegründeten Apollo-Raffinerie, die nordwestlich der Brücke lag und bei Bombenangriffen während des Zweiten Weltkriegs im Juni 1944 zerstört wurde. Die an diesem Standort wiederaufgebaute Raffinerie des später verstaatlichten Mineralölunternehmens Slovnaft blieb bis in die 1960er Jahre in Betrieb.

At Portsmouth, the Abdiel-class minelayer HMS Apollo is tied up outboard of HMS Tyne, a destroyer tender. Taken by my father in 1961 just before Abdiel was laid up for the final time.
The Royal Navy ordered the first four of six ships in 1938, with a further two acquired as part of the War Emergency Programme. They were specifically designed for rapidly laying minefields in enemy waters, close to harbours or sea lanes. As such they were required to be very fast and to possess sufficient anti-aircraft weaponry to defend themselves if discovered by enemy aircraft. A large mineload of up to 150 mines was required to be carried under cover, necessitating a long, flush-decked hull with high freeboard. The resulting ship was laid out much like a large destroyer. However, the three straight funnels were an instant identifying feature.
Top speed was specified as 40 kt. To achieve this they were given a full cruiser set of machinery, and with an installed output of 72,000 shp on two shafts they made 39¾ kt light and 38 kt deep load.
Commissioned after sea trials in February 1944, Apollo joined the Home Fleet at Scapa Flow before setting out for minelaying operations in support of the planned invasion of France. Loading mines at Milford Haven she commenced operations off Brittany. She was detached for duty in Operation Neptune and on 7 June (D-Day+1) she embarked Allied Supreme Commander General Eisenhower, naval C-in-C Admiral Bertram Ramsay, and staff officers from SHAEF, to visit the assault areas. Unfortunately she grounded while underway, damaging her propellers, and her passengers were transferred to the destroyer Undaunted. Repairs were completed in September and she deployed in the South-Western Approaches, laying deep trap minefields as a countermeasure to U-boat activities in inshore waters. Her minefields proved fatal for U-325 and U-1021.
On 24 December she joined the Home Fleet for minelaying duty off Norway, operating off Utsira in January, accompanied by the destroyers Zealous and Carron. On 15 January 1945 she began minelaying in the Irish Sea. In April she commenced a minelaying operation in the Russian Kola Inlet (Operation Trammel) as part of Force 5 with destroyers Opportune, Orwell and Obedient.
After VE Day she sailed to Oslo in company with sister ship Ariadne and heavy cruiser Devonshire, returning the Norwegian Government-in-Exile and Crown Prince Olav. She subsequently prepared for, and sailed to, the British Pacific Fleet, but arrived in Melbourne, Australia, two weeks before the Japanese surrender. Apollo was then employed in repatriation work carrying former British PoWs to Shanghai for passage back to the UK, and then carried mail and stores to ships and establishments in Manus, Shanghai, various Japanese ports and Hong Kong.
In mid-1946 she returned to Chatham and was paid off into Reserve. In 1948 her pennant number was changed from M01 to N01. She was recommissioned in 1951 after the outbreak of the Korean War and remained in commission for 10 years. She was paid off and returned to the Reserve in 1961, was put on the Disposal List the next year, and sold for breaking-up by Hughes Bolckow at Blyth, Northumberland in November 1962. - From Wikipedia.
Beneath delicately arched ridged brows the Piraeus Apollo has horizontal eyes, the upper lid curving above the iris. Both iris and pupil are incised, a feature that is occasionally found on marble works where paint was used to point up the details. The large plastic ears are naturalistic, with both tragus and antitragus shown. The ears are rendered as if they are being pushed out by the bulging mass of thick hair pulled behind them.

The Apollo is on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Animals. It's rare and endangered in Norway, so I feel so lucky having the opportunity to photographed it.
