Promotional and inspirational letter sent by NASA to key subcontractor staff working on the Apollo program. Dated 17 March 1965, the letter is significant because it includes original signatures of all 30 Apollo astronauts. Two more recent signatures appear at the bottom including that of Frank Borman who happened to be at Pima Air and Space Museum the day the letter was donated.
Colonel Borman recounted that when the letters were generated, all of the astronauts were required to attend the signing, located in a conference room filled with tables piled high with stacks of letters and fresh pens. Only after the letters were signed were the astronauts allowed to celebrate St. Patrick's Day.

The hatch door from the Apollo 11 command module Columbia. NASA completely redesigned the hatch after the fatal Apollo 1 fire. To ensure a quick escape, astronauts could use the large pump handle on the left and open it from inside the capsule within seconds. This was one of the images on display at the St. Louis Science Center exhibit.
I'm not sure if he's a friend or foe - that's how much I need to learn the rules of this game - but Apollo here is, like most figures, done in thermal plastic, which changes from green to clear in heat.

I watched one of my favorite movies today, Apollo 13 and it served as a memory that I still had un-edited photos front the California Science Center.
I love NASA and the history of the space race as well as what the future (hopefully) holds for the American space program.
This is the interior of an actual Apollo capsule. This capsule was built for the Apollo 18 moon mission. Sadly the mission was canceled due to funding and this capsule flew as part of the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project. Can you imagine being confined with two other guys in this thing millions of miles from Earth?

Apollo 13 was the third manned lunar-landing mission, part of Project Apollo under the NASA in the United States. It launched on April 11, 1970. Two days after the launch, the Apollo spacecraft was crippled by an explosion, causing the Service Module portion of the Apollo Command/Service Module to lose its oxygen and electrical power. The crew used the Lunar Module as a “lifeboat” in space. The command module systems remained functional, but were deactivated to preserve its capability to reenter Earth’s atmosphere upon return to the earth. The crew endured difficult conditions due to severe constraints on power, cabin heat, and potable water, but successfully returned to Earth.
I was honored to have my "Apollo March" premiered on June 15th by one of the finest concert bands in America, the U.S. Air Force Band of the Golden West.
Capt. Joseph Hansen, conductor, said, "David Coppedge's Apollo March possesses vibrant harmonies and colors as well as a powerful melody, capturing the bravery and nobility of the Apollo 11 mission. The textures are interesting and unique; great way to honor the innovative heroes of the American space race."
You can watch the band play it at this Vimeo link.

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.

His hand finally through the bloody ALUS,
He will be unable to protect himself by sea,
Between two rivers he will fear the military hand,
The black and angry one will make him repent of it.

The only Factory built Apollo with GM Corvette Engine
The Apollo GT was the brainchild of young Californian engineer Milt Brown who wanted to create an American car that could rival the European GT cars of the day. The car was designed by Hungarian engineer and immigrant Frank Reisner who, while on holiday in Turin, established a shop under the name of 'Intermeccanica'. By early 1963, a deal had been made and the first Apollo GT's went on production. The car's bodywork was produced in Turin by Intermeccanica and then shipped across the Atlantic to Oakland, California where Brown installed the drivetrain. The car was first styled by a friend of Milt Brown named Ron Plescia. However, the car's nose was thought to be too long and its rear-visibility too limited. Because of this, Reisner contracted former Bertone stylist Franco Scallion to revisit the design resulting in the current design.
Initially, Apollo's were sold only in two-seat configuration although a later 2+2 prototype was shown at the 1965 New York Auto Show. Brown's International Motorcars sold a total of 88 cars. Unfortunately, production of the car ended in mid-1964 due to a lack of financing.
This example was sold in 1965 and was likely built toward the end of the original round of Apollo production in California. Milt Brown remembers this car were well, as it was to be the transition from Buick 215 Alloy to Chevrolet power. They used the higher horsepower 327 Corvette motor (300 hp) which was a vast improvement over the small Buick motor. Just as the car was completed, Buick came out with their 300 cubic inch motor and the decision was made to continue with the Buick engines for the rest of the Apollos built, making this a unique car among a run of about 39 coupés built by the original company. Dr. Robert Turcios purchased this Chevrolet-powered Apollo in 1975 in Santa Rosa California. In 1976, Dr. Turcios was contacted by Walt Disney Productions, to rent the car to them for their new movie "Herbie goes to Monte Carlo". The car appeared in the movie driven by American Sports Car Legend Max Balchowsky. This one-off large displacement Italian bodied GT from the sixties, that has Milestone status, has been with the same marque specialist for over 40 years in California's dry climate.

Apollo 13 was to be the third mission to land on the Moon. An explosion in one of the oxygen tanks crippled the spacecraft during flight and the crew were forced to orbit the Moon and return to the Earth without landing.

Apollo-8
Yorktown (CVS-10) was the recovery ship for Apollo-8, the first manned orbital mission to the moon. Launched on the morning of 21 December 1968 from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the capsule made ten lunar orbits before returning to earth and splashing down in the Pacific a thousand miles southwest of Hawaii on the morning of the 27th.
The three-man crew of Colonel Frank Borman (USAF), Captain James A. Lovell, Jr. (USN), and Major William Anders (USAF) splashed down in darkness at 4:52am local time (10:52EST)
Less than two hours later at 6:21 the three emerged from a Yorktown Squadron Four, Anti-Submarine SH-3D "Sea King" helicopter to a warm reception on the carrier's flight deck.
At 7:18 the spacecraft was lifted aboard the carrier to be delivered to Hawaii on 29 December.
Among the objectives of the manned Saturn mission were navigation-communication-and mid-course corrections; translunar injection; assessment of consumables and passive thermal control; mission support; and the return of high-resolution pictures of proposed landing sites. All major objectives were accomplished.

The USS Yorktown (CV-10) was the tenth aircraft carrier to serve in the United States Navy. Under construction as Bon Homme Richard, this new Essex-class carrier was renames Yorktown in honor of Yorktown (CV-5), sunk at the epic Battle of Midway (June 1942). Built in an amazing 16 ½ months at Newport News, Virginia, Yorktown was commissioned on April 15, 1943. Yorktown participated significantly in the Pacific Offensive that began in late 1943 and ended with the defeat of Japan in 1945. Yorktown received the Presidential Unit Citation and earned 11 battle stars for service in World War II. Much of the Academy Award-winning (1944) documentary "The Fighting Lady" was filmed aboard Yorktown.
In the 1950’s, Yorktown was modified with the addition of and angled deck to better operate jet aircraft in her role as an attack carrier (CVA). In 1958, Yorktown was designated an anti-submarine aircraft carrier (CVS), and would later earn 5 battle stars for service off Vietnam (1965-1968). The ship also recovered the Apollo 8 astronauts and capsule (December 1968). Yorktown was decommissioned in 1970 and placed in reserve.
In 1975, Yorktown was towed from Bayonne, NJ to Charleston to become the centerpiece of Patriots Point Naval and Maritime Museum.
In 1943 it held 360 Officers 3000 enlisted (1943) .
