You are now standing in one of the actual Apollo White Rooms, removed from Launch Pad-Complex 39 at the Kennedy Space Center, Florida. It was here- suspended more than 320 feet above the ground- that many historic and dramatic moments unfolded as astronaut crews prepared to be inserted into their Apollo spacecraft for launch. In this small, historic room, the "butterflies" were felt and final "goodbyes were made. For many, it was a room where reality set in as to what they were about to do, and the risk they were about to take.
The White Room was attached to a 60-foot long, cantilevered "swing arm" which was connected to the rocket gantry. About four hours before liftoff, the astronaut crews would walk across the swing arm and enter the White Room. The structure of the room partially wrapped around the entry hatch area of the spacecraft and sealed out the elements. After the astronauts were inserted into the Command Module, the main hatch was shut and locked. Just prior to launch, the White Room swung away from the spacecraft. The astronauts were now alone, sitting atop a 36-story skyscraper of a rocket with the explosive power of an atomic bomb.
This specific White Room was one of three used during the Apollo lunar program, and was later recycled for use during the Skylab and Apollo-Soyuz programs. Historical records no longer exist to indicate which specific astronaut crews said their "goodbyes" in this White Room, but it is likely that at least a third of the 14 Apollo crews that departed from Launch Pad-Complex 39 began their journey here, and stood exactly where you are standing now. Only one other Apollo White Room from Pad 39 still exists, and it is on display at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor's Center, Florida.

The Kitchen Sink
An irresistibly funny and tender play about big dreams and small changes
16-17 & 20-24 October 2015
A few images from dress rehearsal for the upcoming presentation of "The Kitchen Sink" at the Apollo in Newport.
An irresistibly funny and tender play about big dreams and small changes.
Things aren’t going to plan for one family in Pebblesea. Pieces are falling off Martin’s milk float as quickly as he’s losing customers and something’s up with Kath’s kitchen sink. Billy is pinning his hopes of a place at art college on a revealing portrait of Dolly Parton, while Sophie’s dreams of becoming a ju-jitsu teacher might be disappearing down the plughole.
Amid the dreaming, the dramas and the dirty dishes, something has to give. But will it be Kath or the kitchen sink?
Apollo is a lynx snowshoe Siamese available for adoption through NYC Siamese Rescue - nycsiamese.org. This poor fellow, with his siblings, were rescues from an animal collector in Queens, where 70 cats were sharing a one bedroom apartment.

Apollo 11: Buzz Aldrin and the U.S. flag on the Moon
Apollo 11 was the first manned mission to land on the Moon. The first steps by humans on another planetary body were taken by Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin on July 20, 1969. The astronauts also returned to Earth the first samples from another planetary body. Apollo 11 achieved its primary mission - to perform a manned lunar landing and return the mission safely to Earth - and paved the way for the Apollo lunar landing missions to follow

Apollo 15 selected photos of interesting specimen rocks on Moon's surface. I enhanced photos for clarity - some are rotated.
I'm doing a 366 project of my dog, Apollo. So there will probably be quite a few uploads of him. I just finished my regular 365 project from last year, and enjoyed it so much, I decided to do one centered around Apollo. haha I know I have no life.

This spacecraft carried astronauts Thomas Stafford, John Young and Eugene Cernan to the Moon and back in a final dry run before Apollo 11's lunar landing. On its return to Earth it travelled at 24,790 mph. The fastest speed ever for a crewed vehicle.
Finally, I've glued the shell of the Apollo Command module together. Next I smooth out the joint, and finally I paint it.
Portrait of the prime crew of the Apollo 11 lunar landing mission. From left to right they are: Commander, Neil A. Armstrong, Command Module Pilot, Michael Collins, and Lunar Module Pilot, Edwin E. Aldrin Jr. On July 20th 1969 at 4:18 PM, EDT the Lunar Module "Eagle" landed in a region of the Moon called the Mare Tranquillitatis, also known as the Sea of Tranquillity. After securing his spacecraft, Armstrong radioed back to earth: "Houston, Tranquility Base here, the Eagle has landed". At 10:56 p.m. that same evening and witnessed by a worldwide television audience, Neil Armstrong stepped off the "Eagle's landing pad onto the lunar surface and said: "That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind." He became the first human to set foot upon the Moon.
