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.

This is my build for the FebRovery challenge. Yes, it may not exactly follow the guidelines but I thought it would be fun to build a larger than minifig scale model of the classic Apollo Lunar Rover. Hope you like it!
The Apollo/Saturn V Center is a tribute to the Apollo astronauts and the machines that got them there – and brought them home safely.
The LES is now finished--escape motor on top with black nozzles, and the tower below that fits the Command Module
Apollo is old now, and sometimes I worry he is having the "Big Sleep" when I see him laying like such.

The Apollo Walk signage gives you lots of interesting information and guides you around the old site of te Honeysuckle Creek tracking station.
Honeysuckle Creek Tracking Station (or HSK as it was also known) was an important part of NASA’s tracking network between 1967 and 1981 and its main parabolic antenna (DSS-46) ended up being responsible for capturing and then transmitting to the world the images of Neil Armstrongs first steps on the moon.

The Apollo Service Module carried sixteen engines like these, mounted in groups of four, for maneuvering in space. Each engine burned monomethyl hydrazine and nitrogen tetroxide to produce a thrust of 100 pounds. These engines, which were part of the Apollo Reaction Control System, were tested at the White Sands Test Facility.
This graphite study shows an arm in the stretched position of the first version of Apollo. But the movement to the back was the point of transition to the final version.1989-91.
Apollo's sacred precinct in Delphi was a panhellenic sanctuary, where every four years, starting in 776 BC athletes from all over the Greek world competed in the Pythian Games, precursors of the Modern Olympics. The victors at Delphi were presented with a laurel crown (stephanos) which was ceremonially cut from a tree by a boy who re-enacted the slaying of the Python. Delphi was set apart from the other games sites because it hosted the mousikos agon, musical competitions. These games, though, were different from the games at Olympia in that they were not of such vast importance to the city of Delphi as the games at Olympia were to the area surrounding Olympia. Delphi would have been a renowned city whether or not it hosted these games; it had other attractions that led to it being labeled the (navel) of the earth, in other words, the center of the world.
