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 a mural in the lobby of the Apollo Theater, showing some of the superstars that have performed there.

FInally, I'm gluing the shell onto the Service Module. Notice that the section to the left is hinged to conceal or show the innards I've been working on all week. And there's on last panel unglued.
The Apollo II Command Module "Columbia" carried astronauts Niel Armstrong, Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin, and Michael Collins on their voyage to the Moon and back in 1969.

The „star-wrench” spanner is necessary for engineering tasks, service tasks or home improvement activities, and is used for tightening or loosening soluble bindings of 20mm, hexagon screws. On the handle of the cast steel tool an English label refers to the brand name and function.
I fell in love with Apollo at first sight! He was a big beautiful dog, and already neutered. I took him home to foster, but still couldn't believe that someone must be missing him. I put up "Found" signs, with his picture, all along the road where the Animal Control Officer had picked him up, but no one ever called. On 10/17/08, Apollo went to Rover Rescue, and is still there, looking for a home. If you live in northern Illinois and want a big friendly dog, please look Apollo up - you can get more info about adopting him here on Petfinder
STATUE OF APOLLO WITH HIS CYTHARA

The Capitoline Museums complex (Musei Capitolini) in Rome has one of the finest collections of sculptures, statues, and archaeological finds from antiquity in the world, in addition to paintings and art from the Middle Ages to the Baroque. Top highlights are very rare large Roman bronze sculptures such as the original equestrian statue of Marcus Aurelius, Boy with a Thorn, and the Capitoline She-Wolf (and the much more recent Romulus and Remus). The paintings collection includes works by Caravaggio, Titian, Rubens, Van Dyck, and many other European masters. Although the museum is rarely overcrowded, buying tickets online saves time.
