'Apollo' is one of the raptors of Wild Ontario, and is an ambassador for his species. He's beautiful all on his own, but I couldn't resist the opportunity to photograph him, side-lit in the late afternoon sun, with a background of autumn leaves.

Not sure if these have ever been stitched together before now.
Still it's done now, what a nightmare ;-)

This is a LEGO model of the famous photo of Dr. Buzz Aldrin (Apollo 11). Notice the helmet reflection of the LEGO lunar lander 10266 and astronaut (Neil Armstrong) minifigure & shadow!
I also made a LEGO model of the NASA ARTEMIS space suit- the next generation spacesuit for the first woman and next man to land and walk on the moon in 2024.
Please support the idea at the LEGO Ideas website.
With 10000 votes in 1 year, LEGO will consider making it a real LEGO set.

Martinsburg, West Virginia's Apollo Theatre was established in 1913 and in its early years was home to vaudeville, plays, and motion pictures. Starting in the 1940s, it operated as a movie theater but began presenting live shows again in the 1970s. Now officially known as the Apollo Civic Theatre, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. Information from the theater's website.

Processed from the original images released in 2022 but no longer available.
After some time, I reworked the raw files released by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) in 2022 obtained from the Chandrayaan-2 orbiter.
In the original images, the two LEMs are a pile of pixels with little detail despite the remarkable resolution obtained by the camera on board the Indian probe's orbiter.
I applied probabilistic reconstruction iterations to the images using grayscale dithering and compensatory fictitious noise.
As can be seen, in both images of the only landing gear left on the Moon from the Apollo 11 and 12 missions, the bases of the spokes, just 94 cm wide, are recognisable. The upper part must be interpreted based on the project drawings and the shadows produced by the almost grazing sunlight. However, the "hole" that housed the base of the ascent stage is recognisable.
Around the LEMs, some instruments left by the astronauts can be recognized, and in that of Apollo 11, perhaps the shadow of the flag (12 o'clock). The flag raised by Apollo 11 was instead torn off by the gases at the moment of launch.

"Carrying the Apollo 11 Saturn V space vehicle and mobile launcher, the transporter inches its way to the hardstand atop Launch Complex 39A where it positioned the 12.5 million-pound load on support pedestals. (Unfueled Saturn V weighs 1/2 million pounds.) Rollout began at 12:30 p.m. EDT today, and was completed at 7:46 p.m. The transporter carried the vehicle along the 3.5 mile crawlerway at an average speed less than one mile per hour. The 363-foot-high space vehicle is to launch Apollo 11 Astronauts Neil A. Armstrong, Michael Collins and Edwin E. Aldrin, Jr., on the Nations' first manned lunar landing mission."

The NCA (New Canadian Army) proposed NASA and its engineers to work with them in designing and building a new mech to support space operations. With NASA no longer sending men into space anytime soon, they had no reason to resist.
The mechas original purpose was to be used in space for building or repairing space stations and space crafts, it was also purposed to be used as a combat mecha where it had an edge to most mecha that were used on Earth and just outfitted with some space boosters.
Though the Apollo was not designed to be strictly used in space, it also had the ability to be used in the sky and even on the ground. Though space is where it proves itself to be the most useful.
The Apollo comes standard with 4 arms, 2 main ones on each side of the body and 2 sub arms that are folded into the legs. The subs-arms are able to come out and be used for holding smaller weapons or simple tools. With limited movement and being connected to the legs, trained pilots find great use of the sub arms.
The Apollo also comes with 2 small propellant tanks in case there is a cut out of an enrgy source to the main engine, not saying there will be or has been. The tanks are there as an extra precaution so that no one is left stranded in space floating around until they die of starvation because that is no fun.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
......
Yet another weird backstory but I wanted to do it.
Man it seems like it's been ages since I built a pretty decent mech, feels good to finally build one that I like though.
So anyways, some of you might have seen this a while back with no left arm and very slightly different. Yea, it didn't change at all even though I made it seem like it would ;_;
Also those propellant tanks are just a bad cover up for a stand for this thing :P I used t-bars to make up the joints and it isn't all that well balanced so it was pretty much needed.
I might need to redo some of this and make it a bit bigger so that I can change joints out here and there and make it all the more stable so it doesn't need to rely on the propellant tanks too much.
Now for something a little off topic. This really only concerns people who are apart of the 3rd round in the NPU contest.
WHY DOES NO ONE SEEM TO HAVE THIS PIECE.
I picked it cause I thought a lot of you would have it, I'm upset by this 3:
Anyways, enjoy :P
Earth as viewed from 10,000 miles. In 1967, the Apollo 4 (Spacecraft 017/Saturn 501) unmanned test flight made a great ellipse around Earth as a test of the translunar motors and of the high speed entry required of a human flight returning from the moon. A 70mm camera was programmed to look out a window toward Earth, and take a series of photographs from "high apogee". Coastal Brazil, Atlantic Ocean, West Africa, Antarctica, looking west. This photograph was made when the Apollo 4 spacecraft, still attached to the S-IVB (third) stage, was orbiting Earth at an altitude of 9,544 miles.

The temple was built at the end of the 8th century BC, which was 10.20 meters wide, 24 meters long and slightly narrowed towards the east and according to the foundations of secos (sacred courtyard) walls uncovered in the north and south parts. The simple and small temple contained a cult statue, an altar, a sacred source and the symbols of Apollo. Remains of a columned building which is 15.50 meters long and 3.60 meters wide, revealed by exploratory digging carried out to the south-west of the temple.
The Apollo 11 Saturn V space vehicle climbs toward orbit after liftoff from Pad 39A at 9:32 a.m. EDT. In 2 1/2 minutes of powered flight, the S-IC booster lifts the vehicle to an altitude of about 39 miles some 55 miles downrange. This photo was taken with a 70mm telescopic camera mounted in an Air Force EC-135N plane. Onboard are astronauts Neil A. Armstrong, Michael Collins and Edwin E. Aldrin, Jr.

CAPE KENNEDY, FLORIDA -- Apollo 11 Command/Service Module (CSM-107) shown being readied for moving to the Vehicle Assembly Building for mating to Saturn V (SA-506). To the left is shown the arrival of CSM-108, the spacecraft to be used in Apollo 12. Apollo 11 is schedule for launch July 16. The prime crew on the lunar landing mission is, Commander, Neil Armstrong; Command Module Pilot, Michael Collins; Lunar Module Pilot, Edwin Aldrin. National Aeronautics and Space Administration last week announced the prime crew for Apollo 12 would be, Commander, Charles Conrad, Jr., Command Module Pilot, Richard Gordon, Jr., Lunar Module Pilot, Alan Bean.
Sitting in the life raft, during the Apollo 12 Pacific recovery, are the three mission astronauts; Alan L. Bean, pilot of the Lunar Module (LM), Intrepid; Richard Gordon, pilot of the Command Module (CM), Yankee Clipper; and Spacecraft Commander Charles Conrad. The second manned lunar landing mission, Apollo 12 launched from launch pad 39-A at Kennedy Space Center in Florida on November 14, 1969 via a Saturn V launch vehicle. The Saturn V vehicle was developed by the Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) under the direction of Dr. Wernher von Braun. The LM, Intrepid, landed astronauts Conrad and Bean on the lunar surface in what?s known as the Ocean of Storms, while astronaut Richard Gordon piloted the CM, Yankee Clipper, in a parking orbit around the Moon. Lunar soil activities included the deployment of the Apollo Lunar Surface Experiments Package (ALSEP), finding the unmanned Surveyor 3 that landed on the Moon on April 19, 1967, and collecting 75 pounds (34 kilograms) of rock samples. Apollo 12 safely returned to Earth on November 24, 1969.

I just love taking photos of bridges. I return to the ones in Bratislava quite often, always trying to get a better shot :). So here is another one of the Apollo bridge, taken about an hour after the sunset. You can see the Bratislava port behind the bridge.

Back Story ......................................
Today Mr Apollo was taken to the Vet.
There's so much to tell but I find myself rather tired
and finding it difficult to use the right words.
My fingers keep missing the correct keys to punch.
Tell ya what, I'll just start taking, if the story gets side tracked
no big deal. Y'all can figure out whats taking place by the photos.
Mr SideCar is my friend and today No# 1 wife calls him Mr Hero Man for the adventure we went on.
Now I know you're all saying, "why doesn't No# 1 call you a hero man too ?" That's simple, she has a special saying 4 me.
"Young Monkey Boy With No Brain 4 Thinking" ...;-)~
When we left for the monkey temple the roads were nice and dry. Sky was cloudy and questionable at best !
Picked up Apollo, put him in the sidecar with a small bag of chicken meat placed under his nose. He laid down and didn't make a sound or even move all the way to the Vets clinic.
Now that my friends was a very plesant surprise .. ;-)
At the Vets he was a perfect gentleman the entire time doing what ever was asked of him, another pleasantry.
Next photo, no# 2, shows him in the Vets office as the Vet and I speak bits of Thai and english before the hands on part starts.
Mr Apollo was diagnosed with severe demodectic mange.
He also has other infections due to his immune system being attacked by the demodectic mange.In other words Apollo was in a bad way and getting worse. The Vet showed me a blowup of the skin scrapings he had on a slide under the microscope.
Looking at the picture chart on the wall it was easy to spot the parasites living under his skin. This is nasty stuff ! End result Death !
Apollo is required to see the Vet every two weeks for 6 months. Plus he now takes special meds every day which Mr Kind Monk will administer.
If I had my own transportation such as the one you see in the photo I could easily be hauling dogs to the Vet everyday if needed and it's needed.End result would be saving many dogs from an agonizing short life here in the jungle.
When we left the Vets clinic the roads were same same but the sky was growing darker !
Pulled in to find a happy Mr Kind Monk, Apollo was very calm .
Went over the instructions then it was time to go before the rains.
Just got onto the main road when the sky opened up for a monsoon downpour. Even with rain ponchos you get soaked !
OK, My energy level is gone so time 4 me to say audios ... ;-)
We can talk more about this later.
Thank You.
