This Lunar Suit was worn by Apollo 15 commander David Scott in July 1971. This was the first mission to use a lunar roving vehicle.
On March 3rd, 2015, special guests joined artist Marco Brambilla and Times Square Arts for a special reception and viewing experience of Apollo XVIII with sound.
Apollo XVIII presents the countdown to an imagined lift-off of a Saturn V rocket across Times Square’s spectacular screens. The fictional mission combines both real, archival footage and virtual renderings to present a new collective viewing experience that will place the public at the foot of a new frontier.

Sacrificing the Hasselblads
Along with the Moon rocks, some of the most precious cargo the astronauts returned from the lunar surface were the camera backs removed from their Hasselblad 70-mm cameras. Inside were some of the most famous and profound images ever recorded in history, each image giving photographic testimony to mankind's first exploration of another world.
To save weight and space for their return trip off the Moon, the astronauts discarded their Hasselblad cameras on the lunar surface, returning to Earth with only the camera backs. During the Apollo Program, these film canisters returned nearly 25,000 priceless photographic images, many of which have been forever etched in our collective memory
DISPLAYED HERE are actual Hasselblad film backs returned from each Apollo mission. These special canisters were built by Hasselblad specifically for NASA and each unit contained enough film for 200 exposures. Displayed with each canister are actual photographic images returned to Earth from these specific camera backs.

Apollo and Daphne was completed by Gian Lorenzo Bernini in 1625, when he was only 27 years old.
It depicts the myth of the nymph Daphne escaping the advances of Apollo by transforming into a laurel tree.
The leaves are so fine that when struck with a tool, the marble makes a sound like crystal glass.
From Ovid's Metamorphoses:
"As Apollo relentlessly chases Daphne—boasting, pleading, and promising everything. When her strength is finally spent she prays to her father Peneus:
"Destroy the beauty that has injured me, or change the body that destroys my life." Before her prayer was ended, torpor seized on all her body, and a thin bark closed around her gentle bosom, and her hair became as moving leaves; her arms were changed to waving branches, and her active feet as clinging roots were fastened to the ground—her face was hidden with encircling leaves.
Even like this Apollo loved her and, placing his hand against the trunk, he felt her heart still quivering under the new bark. He clasped the branches as if they were parts of human arms, and kissed the wood. But even the wood shrank from his kisses, and the god said:
"Since you cannot be my bride, you must be my tree! Laurel, with you my hair will be wreathed, with you my lyre, with you my quiver. You will go with the Roman generals when joyful voices acclaim their triumph, and the Capitol witnesses their long processions. You will stand outside Augustus's doorposts, a faithful guardian, and keep watch over the crown of oak between them. And just as my head with its uncropped hair is always young, so you also will wear the beauty of undying leaves."
The Apollo Theater at 253 West 125th Street, with a capacity of 1,506, opened in 1914 as Hurtig & Seamon's New Burlesque Theater. It was designed by George Keister in the neo-Classical style. It became the Apollo in 1934, when it was opened to black patrons; previously it had been a whites-only venue. The Apollo’s interior was renovated in 2001, its exterior – including the marquee and sign – in 2005.

There are sixteen of these little doojobs--nozzles for the service module control rockets. Each had to have its sprue attachment trimmed off and sanded.
After test-fitting, I did some assembly on various Lunar Module Descent Stage detail parts. I attached the footpads to the legs, the ladder to one leg, and the handrails to the LM "porch." Then I painted all the doodads silver, as you see here.
The second of the twin archers, the god of the sun and medicine also invented music (I'm thinking specifically the acoustic/indie genre, but that's just me.)
