Read about Apollo and his big brother at www.zoomuchinformation.com I have been keeping this blog about the kids since shortly after they were born in 2012.
Here is a replica of the Apollo Launch Control Room at Kennedy Space Center, Florida. All those consoles were the ones actually used for the Apollo missions.
Yet more proof that Apollo is truly the most fantastic dog! He is reading Diego's Spongebob Squarepants book with him. The choice of reading material was not Apollo's!

Here’s Apollo, my third Galaxy inspired Allan repaint and 32nd Allan doll overall in my collection. This Allan came with severe red stains on his face so I’ve been itching to try incorporating it into a custom so he’s sat around for awhile.
I guess I’m frustrated with this custom cuz it’s my first custom where a majority of it is done in chalk pastel, and it’s nearly impossible to get really bright and vibrant colours. I ended up using half a can of msc on this one doll which is ridiculous to me when I can get brighter colours using paint.
But, having a day to cool off and separate the doll from the ideal in my mind, he’s not a bad custom. In fact I’m really proud of how well the pastels blended together and how much more subtle this galaxy print looks.
His eye paint is very 90s inspired and I was hoping to invoke that feeling you get when you see Sailor Moon transform and her entire body is galaxies except for her eyes.

"Here men from the Planet Earth first set foot upon the moon, July 1969, A.D.
We came in peace for all mankind."
My take on set 10029 the Apollo Lunar lander. I used what parts I could find (and afford) on Bricklink and tried to make use of alternate pieces for what I could not.
Description: Astronaut Russell L. Schweickart, Apollo 9 prime crew lunar module pilot, participates in a Countdown Demonstration Test. He is wearing an Extravehicular Mobility Unit, or EMU. In addition to the spacesuit and bubble helmet, the EMU also includes a Remote Control Unit on his chest, a Portable Life-Support System backpack and an Oxygen Purge System. This equipment was completely independent of the spacecraft during Schweickart's spacewalk. He was secured only by a tether line.

The Clouded Apollo is a butterfly species of the family of Swallowtail butterflies found in the Palearctic ecozone.
Clouded Apollos inhabit meadows and woodland clearings with plenty of flowering plants, both in the lowlands and in the mountains. It is not usually found at altitudes above 1500m except in the Central Asian mountains where it is known also from higher altitudes.
It inhabits all European countries.
To prevent the continuing disappearance of this butterfly from many places in central Europe, it is now protected in some regions.
Emden
The Apollo Theater was a cinema in Emden / East Friesland, Zwischen den Bleichen 2. It was built from 1928 to 1930 as a functional building in the style of brick expressionism. The cinema hall with around 650 seats was connected to the rear of the three-story front building with the cinema entrance on the ground floor. In its original state, the cinema probably also had a small theater stage for the supporting program for film performances that was still common at the time.
From 1908 there was a cinema of the same name with around 240 seats in Emden, not far away on Neutorstraße. Officially opened on December 10, 1908, it burned down completely on December 16, whereby none of the visitors who were able to quietly leave the cinema were harmed.
Towards the end of the Second World War, the city of Emden experienced the heaviest air raid on September 6, 1944, in which 78 percent of the buildings were destroyed or severely damaged. The Apollo Theater was also hit and could only be repaired and reopened a few years after the war. In the meantime, the population had to make do with the alternative cinemas created during the war.
From around 1948/1949 Otto Neubauer ran the Apollo Theater with 570 seats. Laminated wide screen films could be shown here from 1956, and from 1958 Cinemascope films. The number of seats had meanwhile been increased to 650. In the mid-1960s, the Jentsch family took over the business and survived the wave of Emden closings. The film theater address book from 1966 describes the cinema as a "family cinema".
In the 1970s the number of seats was reduced from 650 to 531. Around 1980 the cinema entrepreneur Friedo Buschmann from Leer acquired the building and had it converted into the Emden Cinema Center. For this purpose, the large, long hall was divided into the three halls Stern (186 seats), Apollo (171 seats) and Rex (132 seats). As in other cities, the ordered drinks were delivered to the square, and smoking was also allowed during the performance.
From around 1990 Friedo Buschmann leased the cinema to the CinemaxX founder Hans-Joachim Flebbe and his United Filmtheater Betriebe GmbH in Hanover, which was operated by the operator of the same name from Hamburg from 1992. Two years later the "Apollo" went to the Groteheide Ostfriesische Filmtheater GmbH in Leer and from January 1, 1999 to the Ostfriesische Filmtheater GmbH from Papenburg. The foyer was later redesigned. The program corresponded to that of other cities. The audience consisted of children, adolescents and adults.
With the opening of a newly built multiplex cinema by the CineStar Group from Lübeck with six halls and a total of 927 seats in 2002 right next to a new car park in the immediate vicinity of the train station, the number of visitors fell. The "Apollo" closed on July 31, 2009 after 80 years. In its last two years it was the oldest cinema in Oldenburg / East Friesland that was still in operation - albeit in a structurally modified form as a cinema center.
After the closure, the owners wanted to convert the house into a residential building. They received the building permit, but then shied away from investing.
Two initiators, Johannes “Urmel” Meyering and Manuel Rietmann, wanted to keep the historic cinema and turn it into a cultural center. In 2010 the "Apollo" was reopened for two months. With many volunteers and artist friends, they organized concerts here, among other things. Entry was free and donations were collected during the events. Around 10,000 visitors came to the Apollo in the two months. The cultural center should be operated with a sustainable utilization concept and a support association.
The city of Emden also supported this idea and bought the listed brick building at the end of 2012, although at that time there was neither a coherent usage concept nor a support association.
In a theses paper published by the city administration on cultural development at the end of March 2016, it was determined that the Apollo-Verein was not stable enough as the sponsor of such a project and that the annual Emden Filmfest requires additional space, but because of the short season, no economically relevant contribution to the costs can afford. The establishment of a cultural center also failed because of the costs. It is also not financially feasible to use the building as a theater, and there are currently no external funding programs for expanding the hall.
Many objects were removed and integrated into a dance school in Leer, 30 kilometers away, but the city of Emden is still looking for a use that does justice to the historical and monumental value of this outstanding urban property. In mid-June 2016, the city administration was commissioned to work out the further use of the Apollo building, open-ended, because it was not worth selling because the running costs were covered by rental income.
At the council meeting on December 8, 2016, the sale of the property, which the CDU repeatedly forced, was rejected by a large majority because a new usage concept was presented. In coordination with the city administration, three entrepreneurs from Emden developed a concept. You want to lease the building and run a gastronomic experience with a freely usable event hall, a multifunctional presentation and event room for an event agency and a studio including an exhibition room. According to the operators, the use of the revenue would be almost cost-neutral for the city. According to Johannes “Urmel” Meyering, Corny Littmann rated the concept as promising and promised to support the further planning. Due to the three potential tenants and the usage concept drawn up by the city administration, the council of the city of Emden decided at its meeting on May 11, 2017 with a large majority against the votes of the CDU and FDP to use the striking clinker brick building as a cultural site. The planning for the renovation should start in 2017 so that the renovation measures, which were calculated at around 1.2 million euros, could have started at the beginning of 2018. The revitalization of the "Apollo" was hoped for an enormous benefit for the entire city center.
In a specially convened press conference on March 1, 2019, the city administration announced the end of the planned project to transform it into an event location and the intention to sell the building. The decision was made together with Meyering, whose event concept provided for a meeting room for 300 visitors, which would have made the renovation around 400,000 euros more expensive, but the City Council of Emden had the renovation budget at 1.2 million on November 8, 2018 Euro capped. The budget that has already been budgeted is now to flow into the fiber optic expansion by Stadtwerke Emden, into the inner city renovation and into the renovation of the schools. In the sale, the city relies on a private investor who will further develop the building and not just get the residual value out, as in contrast to Municipality a private owner can write off the additional costs incurred by the monument protection for the renovation over twelve years. The price at which the building is to be offered depends on the decision of the city council, to which the sales proposal has yet to be submitted.
The building has been publicly advertised for sale since March 7, 2020. The deadline for bidding ends on June 8, 2020. The tender text reads: “The city of Emden intends to sell the former Apollo Theater. The important listed building is located in a cityscape-defining location and requires consideration of its important architectural significance
