The Apollo Fuel Cell was designed to convert cryogenic oxygen (O2) and hydrogen (H2) into electrical power. A vitally important by-product of this chemical reaction was the production of water (H2O) which was used by the astronauts during their mission. A complement of three 28-volt fuel cells provided all the onboard electrical power to the Apollo Command and Service Module (the Lunar Excursion Module was battery powered). Each fuel cell was rated at 1.5kW, with a maximum power of 2.2kW for brief periods. Each fuel cell consisted of 31 cells connected in scries (each producing one volt) and weighed 245 pounds. Each fuel cell had its own hydrogen and oxygen compartment and two electrodes (conductors). The heat produced by the chemical reaction (mixing H2 with O2) was used to maintain the gases at a reactive temperature (385 F) while excess heat was vented into space. The three power cells operated in parallel; although a single power plant was enough to ensure safe return. Fuel cells were first tested during the Gemini program and are still used today, in modified form, aboard the Space Shuttle.

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.
Neil Armstrong speaks while standing beside the Apollo 11 command module at the National Air and Space Museum on 20 July 2009 on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the first humans to set foot on the Moon.
Apollo 11 was the mission where Neil Armstrong first set foot on the Lunar surface , In this picture we can see the landing sites of four Apollo missions =Apollo 11 +15 +16 +17 .
Forget-me-Knot
Confusion reigns in David Tristram’s superb comedy. Is anyone who they say they are?
Production kindly sponsored by Vectis Rotary.
11-13 and 16-19 May 2017 (note changed show dates for this production)
Forget-Me-Knot, by David Tristram, tells the tale of a man who may or may not be Robert Zeinfeld, found wandering and suffering from amnesia. Detective Inspector Monroe is the man charged with working out who this mystery man is, with the help – or rather hindrance – of Mrs Zeinfeld and his own wife Samantha.
Robert is a confused man, not of his own doing – a bump on the head resulting in amnesia and a night in the cells have attributed to that. Inspector Monroe is also a confused man, but he has nobody to blame but himself.
Robert has been found wandering the streets in his confused state. His Filofax knows who he is – but does anybody else? Monroe is on the case – or seems to think he is. More confusion rains down when Robert’s wife is summoned and doesn’t know what’s going on either; but what she does know is that Robert shouldn’t be anywhere near where he was found and probably with a mistress, whom he definitely shouldn’t be anywhere near. When the mistress turns up, utter confusion is unleashed upon the stage. Is Robert who everybody else says he is? Does he really have amnesia? If he doesn’t then what is he doing with a wife like that in the first place? Is anybody actually who they maintain they are?
Forget-Me-Knot has been described as ‘one of the funniest British farces … with superb laugh-out-loud comedy’. We think you’ll agree!
This is Armstrong's backup spacesuit for Apollo 11. It weighs 190 pounds on earth, and about 32 pounds on the moon.
Lillebonne Apollo
2nd century AD
Provenance: near the Gallo-Roman theatre, Lillebonne (Seine-Maritime), France
Gallo-Roman production
Gilded bronze. The areas overlaid with gold leaf applied with the aid of mercury form a grid that is still visible in places, particularly on the thighs
H. 1.94 m
The knee, the right leg and foot, and the left knee and heel are modern.
The statue was discovered on July 24, 1823, and is the largest surviving Gallo-Roman bronze of a divinity. Apollo, the god of medicine and healing, held a lyre in his left hand, a type of composition particularly popular in northern and central-eastern Gaul. The statue was made by a local workshop, and The proportions and balance of the Lillebonne statue, together with the way the hair is arranged, demonstrate the influence of Greek models on the artists of Roman Gaul.
Acquired in 1853

His hair is curly copper saran from DollyHair. I rooted it in, then styled it by brushing it out and wrapping each individual hair around my finger to create loose spirals. For more information and tutorials, see my blog Dolly Care:

Commemorative Apollo 7 mission patch honoring the crew of Apollo 1 who died in a tragic fire on Pad 34.
In Apollo 7 crew member's Walt Cunningham's own words:
"When Gus, Ed and Roger were killed in the fire on Pad 34, the Apollo 1 backup crew of Wally, Donn and I, inherited the mission. NASA focused on recovering from the fire and getting back on schedule with Apollo VII. Our original patch concept was to depict a Saturn 18 rising from the ashes of its predecessor, like the mythical bird, Phoenix.
NASA discouraged us from using the Phoenix analogy...over the years I wondered what it would have been like had we been able to use our original concept, Apollo VII, rising from the ashes of the Apollo 1 fire that claimed the lives of three friends, was NASA's first "Return to Flight.". This "Flight of the Phoenix" placed America firmly on the path to "land a man on the Moon and return him safely to Earth in this decade."
This commemorative design beautifully illustrates that accomplishment. Our Apollo spacecraft, sitting atop the Saturn 1B, rising from the fire on Pad 34, is emulating the Phoenix and its renewed life. The flames are represented by the Phoenix spreading her wings to take flight. In tribute to the Apollo I crew, we borrowed the illustration of their spacecraft from their mission patch, pointing toward the Moon. The six stars represent Gus, Ed and Roger along with our crew of Wally, Donn and I. Trimmed in red, white and blue; it pays tribute to our country for daring to dream the impossible."

Apollo
2nd century AD
Provenance: Italy?
Bronze
H. 31.8 cm
Apollo probably held a bow in his right hand and a laurel branch in his left. The statuette, which echoes a Greek model from the 5th century BC, is rendered in a pseudo-Archaic style much prized by Roman collectors in the 1st and 2nd centuries AD.

For comparison with Orion, a close-up of the Apollo 10 command module (right side) showing the phenolic resin ablative honeycomb heat-shield of the hull structure and RCS nozzles (positive yaw). In flight this surface was covered with several layers of lighter protection which burn off during re-entry, including a reflective mylar outer skin, giving the capsule the more familiar silvery look.

In Greek and Roman mythology, Apollo, is one of the most important and many-sided of the Olympian deities. The ideal of the kouros (a beardless youth), Apollo has been variously recognized as a god of light and the sun; truth and prophecy; archery; medicine and healing; music, poetry, and the arts; and more. Apollo is the son of Zeus and Leto, and has a twin sister, the chaste huntress Artemis. Apollo is known in Greek-influenced Etruscan mythology as Apulu. Apollo was worshipped in both ancient Greek and Roman religion, as well as in the modern Greco-Roman Neopaganism. (wikipedia)
Apollo 1 is the official name that was later given to the never-flown Apollo/Saturn 204 (AS-204) mission. Its command module (CM-012) was destroyed by fire during a test and training exercise on January 27, 1967 at Pad 34 (Launch Complex 34, Cape Canaveral, then known as Cape Kennedy) atop a Saturn IB rocket. The crew aboard were the astronauts selected for the first manned Apollo program mission: Command Pilot Virgil I. "Gus" Grissom, Senior Pilot Ed White and Pilot Roger B. Chaffee. All three died in the fire.
The Strait of Belle Isle Ferry named the Apollo links Newfoundland and the Labrador areas of the Province.
This ferry is the main transportation between Newfoundland and Labrador that is owned and operated by the Provincial Government of both Newfoundland and Labrador. The ferry is known as the Apollo and runs daily usually from May 1 to the middle of January depending on the Arctic ice and the temperatures around the area.
The Apollo only began operating in the year 2000 and replaced another ferry known as the Northern Princess. The Apollo can carry passengers and hold vehicles, tractor trailer trucks and RVs.
Apollo 18 is an upcoming 2012 science fiction film directed by Gonzalo Lopez-Gallego and produced by Timur Bekmambetov. It will be Lopez-Gallego's first English-language film.
