I guess I'm a little strange, but, to me, this was always the most beautiful part of an Apollo mission. There was just something about those candy-stripped chutes against a blue sky that was breathtaking to me.

SIX SPECTACULAR LANDINGS
Apollo astronauts explored six stunning sites on the Moon, from the Sea of Tranquility to Taurus-Littrow. The Apollo 11 and 12 missions landed in a relatively flat region that posed the fewest risks. Apollo 14 went to a hilly locale of immense geologic interest. The astronauts on the last three missions, Apollo 15, 16, and 17, landed in spectacular settings and stayed for three days, exploring the varied terrain in an electric powered lunar rover.
THE MOON COMING INTO FOCUS
The Apollo missions capped off four centuries of lunar exploration that began with the first telescopic observations of the Moon in the 1600s. Early observers were convinced that the Moon was a place much like Earth, with seas, continents, forests, and even cities. Astronomers realized that the Moon was another world of dry rock as telescope technology improved.
Still, mysteries remained. What made the craters? What is on the far side of the Moon? Does the Moon harbor life? These and other mysteries persisted until the Space Age when automatic probes traveled to the Moon, then when humans went to explore its secrets in person.
AFTER APOLLO
Fewer than a dozen spacecraft (all automatic probes) have been back to the Moon since the end of the Apollo program in 1972. Now, a new generation of explorers is preparing for lunar adventures. NASA's vision for space exploration includes human missions to the Moon and beyond to Mars. Artemis is NASA's new lunar exploration program, which will send astronauts back to the Moon in new and better ways, and prepare humans for missions to Mars. Did you know that Artemis was Apollo's twin sister and the goddess of the Moon in Greek mythology

(Is this Apollo 1 or Apollo 2? I'm not sure, by I'm guessing it's Apollo 1.)
While bringing a friend down to Cocoa in 1981, we spent a night at this motel in Sharpes. I don't remember what the name of it was back then - I think it was a French name of some sort, or it might have been another space coast themed name. I don't even know who to ask about it!

Maurer 16mm Data Acquisition Camera and Battery
Apollo
Data acquisition cameras documented technical aspects of missions. Astronauts used a camera like this, along with its large battery, while exploring the lunar surface on their lunar roving vehicle. The moving images were later viewed back on Earth to determine how well the equipment worked and how mission requirements were accomplished.

Lunar Film Decontamination Bag
Apollo 11
Fine lunar dust often coated equipment used on the Moon. After the first lunar landing missions, astronauts and the objects they brought back from the lunar surface were quarantined to prevent the spread of possible "Moon germs." This bag from Apollo 11 contained film magazines used on the Moon until they were processed at the Johnson Space Center.
Nikon SLR Camera
Skylab
The long Skylab missions of 1973-74 gave astronauts enough time to make many photo observations of Earth. Skylab's nine astronaut residents used five different Nikon cameras. An attachment like the one on this camera helped filter out atmospheric haze for clearer images

Later Apollo missions broadcast live color television images from space. Apollo 17 astronauts used this TV camera lens during their translunar journey.

250mm Telephoto Lens
Apollo 11
Apollo 11 astronauts used this telephoto lens to take images of the Earth and Moon from the command module. The Velcro tab on the side kept the camera attached to the spacecraft and within handy reach.

Lunar Television Camera Lenses
Apollo
Lenses for spaceflight had to be easy to use by astronauts in bulky spacesuits. These chrome-plated lenses were used on the Westinghouse color TV camera that broadcast activities on the lunar surface. They are clearly labeled for their specific use. The polished coating reflected the Sun's heat.

Television Camera Bracket
Apollo 11
Apollo 11 crewmembers mounted their small RCA television camera to this bracket for a steady TV picture during live broadcasts showing all three astronauts inside the spacecraft.

This is not a replica of the Apollo 8 Mission Control room. It *is* the Mission Control room - the exact consoles and everything. This was an incredibly affecting and effective display.
