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.

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.

Ladies in Retirement

Based on a famous real-life murder which took place at the end of the 19th century, this play has become one of the most successful and most frequently performed in the modern repertoire. An eerie atmosphere of mystery is evoked in a dark, lonely house on the marshes of the Thames estuary in the 1880s. The characters, presented with great psychological realism, and the strong vein of earthy comedy invest the play with a liveliness unusual for such a genuinely horrifying murder play.

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
This "rock box" was one of two used to bring back the first samples of the moon, 47.7 pounds from the Sea of Tranquility. It was opened in a special lab in Houston to minimize the chance that material from earth would contaminate the samples. This was one of the displays at the St. Louis Science Center exhibit.

Manual electric projector with plastic coating. It projects standing pictures of 35mm perforated positive films. It works on 230 V, meets the standards of double insulation. It does not need earthed connection socket. The roof-shaped part on the upper part of the device diverts the heat generated by the lamp. The clearness of the pictures can be adjusted by twisting the lense of the projector.

The Shakespeare Revue
A clever, witty and hilarious musical revue in irreverent homage to the Bard.
3-4 and 7-11 July 2015
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.
Bekväm, vacker och byggd med omtanke för att räcka länge. Med Haga som kompanjon kommer cykelturerna att bjuda på extra mycket värme.

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.
