Apollo Mapping Camera
Flight Backup
Mapping the lunar surface was a high priority during Apollo 15, 16, and 17. Mounted in the service module, the mapping camera captured high resolution images of the Moon as the spacecraft orbited. While returning to Earth, command module pilots performed spacewalks to retrieve the film canisters, mounted on the right side of the camera.
This flight backup, available for those missions if the installed cameras were damaged or malfunctioned before launch, is the best surviving example. The flown versions remained in the service modules, which burned up when they reentered the Earth's atmosphere.

Survival Rucksack
The Apollo survival kit was designed to provide a 48-hour post landing survival capability to the three-man crew. It was carried in two rucksacks. Rucksack 1 and its contents are displayed here. Rucksack 2 contained a three-man life raft, a sea anchor, and three sun bonnets. The rucksack shown here was carried on the Apollo 11 mission.

His hair is pre-curled curly copper saran from DollyHair. I rooted it in, then styled it by brushing it out with a metal wig brush, and wrapping each individual hair around my finger to create loose spirals. If you don't brush out the pre-curled hair, it will look messy and gelled (some people like that look, but I like curls to look soft, fluffy, and natural.)

Mary and Apollo (and their other human, Andy,) moved here from New Hampshire about 8 months ago. They're loving their California life.
We had a great hike today.
Here is a peek inside the Westcott Apollo 28" softbox. It has a shaft the mounts onto the lightstand. Small speedlights would mount just above the shaft. For the Qflash I used a second mount down lower so I could get the bare bulb in the center of the box. The front attaches with hook and loop. Cables and lightstand enter through a zipper hole in the bottom. Very quick setup.

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.
Hier doen wij Apollo en Daphne na, het persoonlijk favoriete beeld van Silas van de beelden die we hebben gezien. Katinka is gelukkig niet echt in een laurier veranderd zoals wel in de tragische mythe gebeurde. Apollo en Daphne kijken in het origineel natuurlijk erg serieus en geschokt, maar zij waren dan ook niet op vakantie in Ostia. Wij zijn ook niet zo groot als het beeld aangezien het origineel bijna twee en een half meter lang is. Het beeld komt oorspronkelijk uit Griekenland maar is al na 5 jaar naar Rome gegaan. Het is daar te bewonderen in de Galleria Borghese, waar wij het ook hebben gezien.

Fairly hands on by the looks of the machinery, or the lack thereof. From The New Zealand Herald 07 December 1929 via the National Library of New Zealand.
The Temple of Apollo, Pompeii, Italy. The altar at the front was used for animal sacrifices in religious ceremonies.
Apollo (CZ-Decin) Après le pavillon polonais vu ici à plusieurs reprises ces dernières années, le pavillon tchèque !
The temple is in Didyma-meaning twins in Greek- Ephesus, the city dedicated to Apollo's twin, Athena, is only a hundred km away from Didyma.
Named for the Greek god of the arts and leader of the muses, because it was designed and built as a venue for musical entertainment, The Apollo Theatre first opened its doors in February 1901. The first production, The Belle of Bohemia, was not a particular success and Tom B Davis quickly acquired the leasehold in 1902. Early musical successes at the theatre included Kitty Grey, Three Little Maids and The Girl from Kay’s, all presented by George ‘Gaiety’ Edwardes. The light opera Veronique (1904) with music by André Messager starred Ruth Vincent and was big hit. Cicely Courtneidge made her London debut in Tom Jones (1907) with music by Edward German, and from 1908 until 1912 the theatre was home to H G Pelissier’s The Follies. From then on the policy for musical comedy was replaced with far more varied fare, the most successful of which, during the First World War, was Harold Brighouse’s Hobson’s Choice (1916)....
