Here’s Apollo, my third Galaxy inspired Allan repaint and 32nd Allan doll overall in my collection. This Allan came with severe red stains on his face so I’ve been itching to try incorporating it into a custom so he’s sat around for awhile.
I guess I’m frustrated with this custom cuz it’s my first custom where a majority of it is done in chalk pastel, and it’s nearly impossible to get really bright and vibrant colours. I ended up using half a can of msc on this one doll which is ridiculous to me when I can get brighter colours using paint.
But, having a day to cool off and separate the doll from the ideal in my mind, he’s not a bad custom. In fact I’m really proud of how well the pastels blended together and how much more subtle this galaxy print looks.
His eye paint is very 90s inspired and I was hoping to invoke that feeling you get when you see Sailor Moon transform and her entire body is galaxies except for her eyes.
Apollo (our golden eagle) is now 140 day’s old. We took him to the forest for his first flight without any rope… Just be free!!!! He had fun!
Wir haben Apollo für seinen ersten freien Flug mit in den Wald genommen. Apollo ist unser ca. 140 Tage alter Steinadler.

The 363-foot-high Apollo 11 Saturn V space vehicle is bathed in light at the Kennedy Space Center's Launch Complex 39A during a recent Countdown Demonstration Test for the upcoming Apollo 11 launch.
Austin, MN; no, the "Liquors" part of the sign is not out. The lighting of the sign alternates between "Liquors" and "Superette".
Apollo rising from the water at the Palace of Versailles as people are out exploring the garden and Allee Royale leading up to the palace. Louis XIV added the spectacular gilded lead of Apollo riding his chariot, based on the legend of Apollo, the Sun god and the King’s icon. It features the god bursting forth from the water in anticipation of his daily flight above the earth. Built between 1668 and 1670.

Day 4 of the Apollo 11 mission...50 years ago today, July 19, 1969... The crew is on the far side of the Moon, out of contact with the Earth, and has just performed the lunar orbit insertion burn of the Service Module engine, placing them in lunar orbit. On Earth, mission control waits anxiously for word of success, as Aldrin photographs far side features from lunar orbit. In this photo, the structure of the attached Lunar Module is also visible.

I wiped off Apollo's old face-up and gave him a new one last night. Here he is now, all freshened up, prancing around the garden with Sonya. We still have quite a bit of snow, but I managed to find a grassy patch on the front yard. ;)

The five F-1 engines of the huge Apollo/Saturn V space vehicle's first (S-IC) stage leave a gigantic trail of flame in the sky above the Kennedy Space Center seconds after liftoff. The launch of the Apollo 6 (Spacecraft 020/Saturn 502) unmanned space mission occurred at 07:00:01.5 Eastern Time, April 4, 1968. This view of the Apollo 6 launch was taken from a chase plane.

The Apollo 17 Command Module (CM) "America", with astronauts Eugene A. Cernan, Ronald E. Evans and Harrison H. Schmitt aboard, nears splashdown in the South Pacific Ocean to successfully concludes the final lunar landing mission in NASA's Apollo program. This overhead view was taken from a recovery aircraft seconds before the spacecraft hit the water. The splashdown occurred at 304:31:59 ground elapsed time, 2:24:59 p.m. (EST) December 19, 1972, at coordinates of 166 degrees 8 minutes west longitude and 27 degrees 53 minutes south latitude, about 350 nautical miles southeast of Samoa. The splashdown was only .8 miles from the target point. Later, the three crewmen were picked up by a helicopter from the prime recovery ship, USS Ticonderoga.

The 363-foot tall Apollo 17 (Spacecraft 114/Lunar Module 12/Saturn 512) space vehicle is seen lifting off from Pad A, Launch Complex 39, Kennedy Space Center (KSC), Florida, at 12:33 a.m. (EST), December 7, 1972. Apollo 17, the final lunar landing mission in NASA's Apollo program, was the first nighttime liftoff of the Saturn V launch vehicle. Aboard the Apollo 17 spacecraft were astronaut Eugene A. Cernan, commander; astronaut Ronald E. Evans, command module pilot; and scientist-astronaut Harrison H. Schmitt, lunar module pilot. A two-hour and 40-minute hold delayed the Apollo 17 launching.

On July 26, 1971, Apollo 15 launched from Cape Canaveral. The mission was the first of the Apollo "J" missions which stayed on the moon for longer periods of time and had greater surface mobility. This was due in part to the creation of the Lunar Roving Vehicle, better known as the "moon buggy," which was driven for the first time on this mission. The Apollo 15 crew logged many records, including most total EVAs (3), the longest total lunar surface EVAs, the longest time in lunar orbit, and longest Apollo mission. The mission returned to Earth on August 7, 1971, landing in the Pacific Ocean.

Since opening its doors in 1914 and introducing the first Amateur Night contests in 1934, the Apollo has played a major role in the emergence of jazz, swing, bebop, R&B, gospel, blues, and soul — all quintessentially American music genres
Fifty years ago, today, Apollo X launched from Cape Canaveral to the moon and Command Module Pilot John Young became the first person to fly solo around the moon.
This is an Apollo bubble helmet used in training, the first I have seen in private hands. The one John Young wore on Apollo 10 is in the Smithsonian.
Apollo 10 came to within 50,000 ft of landing on the surface. But NASA knew they could not let them get so close to the lunar surface without a rogue attempt to go the whole way, so they just provided enough fuel on the Lunar Module to do the "dress rehearsal" mission. Had Apollo 10 taken the LM to the surface, they would not have had the ability to get back. So, NASA sent an under-fueled LM, adding risk to the mission, to make sure they did not make a go for it, with the temptation of being inevitably regarded as heroes if they did.
Gene Cernan laments: "A lot of people thought about the kind of people we were: 'Don't give those guys an opportunity to land, 'cause they might!' So the ascent module, the part we lifted off the lunar surface with, was short-fueled. The fuel tanks weren't full. So had we literally tried to land on the Moon, we couldn't have gotten off."
The Apollo pressure helmet was a transparent bubble designed to attach to the spacesuit neck ring. It was constructed of a polycarbonate shell with a blue (and then red after Apollo 10) anodized aluminum neck ring, a feed port, a vent pad and duct assembly attached to the rear and a valsalva device attached to the inner ring.

In August of 1968, three NASA astronauts received a call telling them to cancel their winter holiday plans — they were going to the Moon. Fifty years later we are celebrating the historic mission of Apollo 8: go.nasa.gov/2EDarq3
