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?

Fuel cell of the type which exploded in Apollo 13's Service Module.
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.

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.

Apollo Boilerplate
The Apollo Boilerplate came into use during the testing phases of the Apollo capsule, and remained active throughout the Apollo space program. The boilerplate was made of steel and simulated the size, weight, shape, and center of gravity of a manned Apollo capsule. The internal section of the boilerplate remained empty, though it was insulated with cork to prevent overheating. The goal of the boilerplate was to test the design of the parachute, drag, and impact tests. Instruments were also set up on the boilerplate to take several different measurements including temperature, heat rates, static loads and aerodynamics. It was also used by U.S. Navy recovery personnel to train for flotation collar installation and retrieval procedures. The use of the Apollo boilerplate ended in 1972 with the conclusion of the Apollo program.
This boilerplate was used for water landing tests and rescue training.

Created thisdesktop with some custom configs and a modification of the 10-Foot HUD config (i modified the clock, and the weather wouldn't work, so i had to switch to yahoo's weather API). The Power Meter is custom but inspired by 10-Foot HUD
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) .
This is an actual lunar module, one of 12 built for Project Apollo. It was meant to be used in low Earth orbit to test the techniques of separation, rendezvous, and docking with the command and service module. The second of two such test vehicles, its mission was cancelled because of the complete success of the first flight.
The lunar module had two stages. The descent (lower) stage was equipped with a rocket motor to slow the rate of descent to the lunar surface. It contained exploration equipment and remained on the Moon when the astronauts left. The ascent (upper) stage contained the crew compartment and a rocket motor to return the astronauts to the orbiting command module. After the crew entered the command module for the trip back to Earth, the lunar module was released and eventually crashed into the Moon.
National Air and Space Museum
The National Air and Space Museum of the Smithsonian Institution holds the largest collection of historic aircraft and spacecraft in the world in 14,970.9 m2 of exhibition floor space. It was established in 1946, as the National Air Museum, and opened its main building in 1976. Located in Washington, D.C., United States, it is a center for research into the history and science of aviation and spaceflight, as well as planetary science and terrestrial geology and geophysics. Almost all space and aircraft on display are originals or backups to the originals.
Today is the 40th Anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission, where Niel Armstrong first set foot on the moon. This is a shot of my moon globe. Taken with my brand new 50mm f1.4 lens that Dixie got me for my birthday (yeah!).
