The Apollo Command Module (11 feet x 13 feet; 6 tons) is the only component of the Apollo/Saturn V Rocket that returned to Earth; the command module and Apollo astronauts returned to earth via splashdowns in the South Pacific Ocean. Besides providing living quarters for three astronauts throughout an Apollo mission, this module needed to serve as a combination spacecraft, reentry vehicle, and boat.

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.

An Ionic column capital carved with a bucranium in the museum at the temple of Apollo Smintheus at ancient Chryse in the Troad. The temple of Apollo Smintheus is most famous as the scene of the first action in Homer's Iliad. The temple is situated on the southwestern corner of the Biga peninsula and was constructed in the 2nd century. The temple is an 8 x 14 Ionic pseudodipteros . The exposed stylobate measures 24 x 43 meters and the temple is elevated on an 11 step krepidoma.
Smintheus is an epithet of Apollo which means "lord of mice". Teucer, a legendary Cretan hero, left the island with his father (Scamander) and a band of followers during a period of famine. An oracle told them they should settle at the place where they were attacked by "sons of the earth." When they woke up one morning and found that their armor had been eaten by mice, they decided that they must have arrived. They built a settlement and erected a temple to Apollo Smintheus.

The Apollo survival kit provided 48 hours of survival supplies for the three-man crew. Displayed are the contents of one of two rucksacks.
Machete and Sheath
The survival machete is a 17-inch long, all-metal knife that has an aluminum handle and a high-quality stainless steel blade with a cutting edge on one side and a sawing edge on the opposite side. The machete sheath is fabricated from aluminum sheeting with a Teflon spacer (to protect the blade). The machete may be used for cutting or sawing if jungle-type terrain is encountered after an emergency landing.
Survival Knife
Two survival knives were provided for each Apollo survival kit. These were standard three-bladed all-metal knives developed by the Navy.

The Apollo Lunar Module (LM) was a two-stage vehicle designed by Grumman to ferry two astronauts from lunar orbit to the lunar surface and back. The upper ascent stage consisted of a pressurized crew compartment, equipment areas, and an ascent rocket engine. The lower descent stage had the landing gear and contained the descent rocket engine and lunar surface experiments.
LM 2 was built for a second unmanned Earth-orbit test flight. Because the test flight of LM 1, named Apollo 5, was so successful, a second mission was deemed unnecessary. LM-2 was used for ground testing prior to the first successful Moon-landing mission. In 1970 the ascent stage of LM-2 spent several months on display at the "Expo '70" in Osaka, Japan. When it returned to the United States, it was reunited with its descent stage, modified to appear like the Apollo 11 Lunar Module "Eagle," and transferred to the Smithsonian for display.

We spent two nights in Apollo Bay so that we could drive along the Great Ocean Road twice during our x'mas trip.
The second morning, when we were about to leave Apollo Bay, we thought it might be a good idea to visit the information center for some 'well-kept secrets' around the town. Guess what? Marriner's Lookout was a big surprise. It humbly yet proudly unfolded the peaceful gorgeous Apollo Bay right in front of our eyes. Love it.
Well... I know you can find it easily on Lonely Planet, but we almost missed it and I do hate myself for missing sunrise there that morning.
Will come back for sure.
L'Apollo S è un'automobile ad alte prestazioni costruita dalla tedesca Gumpert Sportwagenmanufaktur.
A detta di una rivista (focus.de), teoricamente e grazie all'effetto suolo, a partire da una velocitĂ di 270 km/h la Apollo potrebbe viaggiare sul soffitto.
”It has always been my dream to have a car with so much downforce, such aero-dynamic efficiency that you could drive on the roof of a tunnel at high speed. This car can do it.”

After the success of the final Apollo round, an additional task has been included for participants to earn an additional 200 APL tokens. The previous airdrop is still ongoing meaning you will still earn tokens for completing the other tasks.
The Apollo airdrop will be ending soon so we recommend...

My good friends Apollo-11 from Gadsden Alabama got their second big gig playing on the The Next Big Thing Tour at the Masquerade, in Atlanta, Georgia.
The Apollo Lunar Module number 2 is currently on display in the Lunar Exploration Vehicles gallery in the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, DC.
In the literary myth, Hyacinth was a beautiful boy and lover of the god Apollo , though he was also admired by West Wind, Zephyr. Apollo and Hyacinth took turns throwing the discus. Hyacinth ran to catch it to impress Apollo, was struck by the discus as it fell to the ground, and died A twist in the tale makes the wind god Zephyrus responsible for the death of Hyacinth. His beauty caused a feud between Zephyrus and Apollo. Jealous that Hyacinth preferred the radiant archery god Apollo, Zephyrus blew Apollo's discus off course, so as to injure and kill Hyacinth. When he died, Apollo didn't allow Hades to claim the boy; rather, he made a flower, the hyacinth, from his spilled blood.
