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 Saturn V rocket would have launched the Apollo19 mission to the Moon, but it never flew due to budget cuts. Hanging to the upper right of the Saturn V are the mission patches of all the Apollo flights that rode on Saturn rockets, from Apollo 7 to Apollo 17. Apollo 7 launched on a Saturn 1 rocket, all the others used Saturn V's. Apollo 7 launched from LC34, but all the remaining Apollo missions used LC39A or B.

A heart-stopping sunset from Ojai, one November evening. Seeing the valley, the orange orchards, and the majestic mountains, it isn't hard to imagine why Krishnamurti spent most of his life here.
Só porque não tinha fotos dele por aqui! Não se enganem com a carinha fofa e jeito inocente, definitivamente essa não vai ser a personalidade dele... Provavelmente ficarei ausente por um tempo, não estou com motivação pra tirar fotos ou fazer histórinhas! Quanto a tagged, assim que tiver um tempinho posto ela por aqui.
WASHINGTON, DC - JULY 9: Apollo 15 Lunar Suit worn by David Scott. Taken July 9, 2011 in Smithsonian National Air & Space Museum, Washington, DC.
Using my new Westcott Apollo softbox with portable flash.
Had to wait for some clouds to come over the sun to get the light
down, but so far I like it much better than an umbrella. (also got a
much heavier-duty stand for it, which helped a lot since it was
windy!)
Sunpak at full power inside Westcott Apollo softbox, just to cam left.
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.
This graphite study shows an arm in the stretched position of Apollo's first version. But the movement to the back is the point of transition to the seeked expression.1989-91.
