Description Aboard a Saturn V launch vehicle, the Apollo 11 mission launched from The Kennedy Space Center, Florida on July 16, 1969 and safely returned to Earth on July 24, 1969. The space vehicle is shown here during the rollout for launch preparation. The 3-man crew aboard the flight consisted of Neil A. Armstrong, commander; Michael Collins, Command Module pilot; and Edwin E. Aldrin Jr., Lunar Module pilot. Armstrong was the first human to ever stand on the lunar surface, followed by Edwin (Buzz) Aldrin. The crew collected 47 pounds of lunar surface material which was returned to Earth for analysis. The surface exploration was concluded in 2½ hours. With the success of Apollo 11, the national objective to land men on the Moon and return them safely to Earth had been accomplished. The Saturn V launch vehicle was developed by the Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) under the direction of Dr. Wernher von Braun.

"KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- Apollo 11 astronauts Neil A. Armstrong, left, and Edwin E. Aldrin, Jr., practice in lunar module simulator today in preparation for their planned descent to the Moon's surface. They will explore the lunar surface while astronaut Michael Collins orbits 60 miles overhead in the command spacecraft. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration directs the Apollo program."
After achieving the goal of landing on the moon, the crew of Apollo 11 (Neil Armstrong, Mike Collins and Buzz Aldrin) returned home to Earth on July 24th, 1969.
Upon splashing down, the Apollo 11 crew underwent a 21 day quarantine. The purpose of this was to protect against the small possibility of lunar contagion. This procedure was discontinued after Apollo 14. This photo provides a candid view of the astronauts in the Mobile Quarantine Facility.

Launch: April 11, 1970
Landing: April 17, 1970
Astronauts: James A. Lovell Jr., Fred W. Haise Jr. and John L. Swigert Jr.
When oxygen tank no. 2 exploded at 9:08 pm on April 13th, the plan to land on the moon was scrapped. The explosion destroyed oxygen tank no. 1 as well; with these two tanks being destroyed, the normal supply of electricity, light and water was lost. Thanks to the crew's ingenuity and quick procedure revisions at Mission Control, the crew returned to Earth safely on April 17.

Haven't posted anything for a while, and it's because of this giant bloke Apollo here (I've been working on some Mirodoll promo dolls again). Here's now Mirodoll Apollo, probably for the first time ever with a face-up. I tried to get him looking as young as I could, because I knew that's how Miro likes them. I found him surprisingly photogenic in the end. ;) Miro has already uploaded onto their site another set of photos I took of this boy: www.mirodoll.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPa...

... but Daphne doesn't want him. This elegant Baroque sculpture is Gian Lorenzo Bernini's "Apollo and Daphne".
Bernini depicts the climax of the story, love-stricken Apollo has almost caught young beautiful Daphne and she can only escape by changing from human to tree. Daphne's hair and fingers begin to sprout leaves, her toes are becoming roots, and the bark of a tree trunk is forming around her legs. This is both a depiction of unwanted desire and a warning against the over pursuit of temporal pleasures.
The work was completed in 1622 and was the last of a number of artworks commissioned by Cardinal Scipione Borghese early in Bernini's career.

This past week's Art Day challenge was to paint from a launch photo of the big Saturn V- Apollo 8, to be exact. The second smaller more abstract painting I did after my main one- because I had the paints/color palette left, and why waste paint, right? Smaller painting is a finger painting. :)
Happy Art Day, Everyone!

Standing from left to right are John L. Swigert, Col. Bohart, Thomas K Mattingly, and Charles M. Duke, Jr. Since the Mercury Program, astronauts have taken survival courses in case they are forced to land on a remote part of the Earth where they may need to do without human help for several weeks.

A team of U.S. Navy underwater demolition swimmers prepares the Apollo 8 command module for being hoisted aboard the carrier U.S.S. Yorktown, prime recovery vessel for the initial human lunar orbital mission. The crew members—astronauts Frank Borman, James A. Lovell, Jr., and William A. Anders—had already egressed the spacecraft and were aboard the recovery ship at the time of this photo.

July 20th, 1969: One giant leap for mankind.
A quick little vignette I made for the 47th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing. Although it's hard to tell from the lighting, the grey lunar rover on the left is made entirely of classic light grey pieces to add to the retro authenticity! The backdrop is of course my celestial matte painting called "The Moth Nebula", which I've created last winter.
The Apollo Theater at 253 West 125th Street, with a capacity of 1,506, opened in 1914 as Hurtig & Seamon's New Burlesque Theater. It was designed by George Keister in the neo-Classical style. It became the Apollo in 1934, when it was opened to black patrons; previously it had been a whites-only venue. The Apollo’s interior was renovated in 2001, its exterior – including the marquee and sign – in 2005. The building to the west of Red Lobster housed Freedom National Bank, which was founded by Jackie Robinson.

Bremen, Gumpert Apollo Speed.
One out of one.
This 'car' is just a insane hightech machine.
It was for a long time the lap recordholder of the Nurburgring.
Here are some specs of this insane ride..
It runs on an eight-cylinder bi-turbo getting up to 800 hp and 900 Nm of torque. Amazingly, the car can hit 200 km/h in 8.9 seconds.
I was just amazed to see this..
I hope you like it to..
"Apollo spętany" to jeden z krakowskich sekretów. Wspaniały secesyjny witraż ukryty jest w nie rzucającym się w oczy budynku przy Radziwiłłowskiej 4, zwyczajnej śródmiejskiej ulicy, tuż obok dworca kolejowego.
Witraż, stanowiący personifikację układu heliocentrycznego, wykonał w roku 1904 Stanisław Wyspiański do nowowybudowanego gmachu krakowskiego Towarzystwa Lekarskiego. Budynek przy ul. Radziwiłłowskiej 4 zaprojektowali w roku 1903 Władysław Kaczmarski i Ignacy Sowiński. Wzniesiono go w roku 1904, a projekt wystroju wszystkich wnętrz zlecono Wyspiańskiemu, wybitnemu przedstawicielowi polskiej Secesji.
17 stycznia 1945 r. wycofujący się z Krakowa Niemcy wysadzili pobliski wiadukt kolejowy na ul. Kopernika. Siła detonacji spowodowała zniszczenie witraża, który zrekonstruowano w 1972 r.

"Apollo spętany" (Apollo Bound) can be called one of the Krakow's best kept secrets. The imposing Art Nouveau stained glass lies hidden in a rather inconspicuous building located at Radziwiłłowska No. 4, unseen from the outside on this obscure street near the train station.
The stained glass, showing a personification of the Copernican Solar System, was designed in 1904 for the newly erected seat of the Krakow Medical Society by the leading artist of the Polish Art Nouveau, Stanisław Wyspiański.
The Medical Society House, designed in 1903 by the architects Władysław Kaczmarski and Ignacy Sowiński, was completed one year later. Its fantastic interior decor from furnishings to the beautiful stained-glass windows was entirely designed by Stanisław Wyspiański.
On 17th January 1945, the retreating German troops blew up the railway viaduct over the nearby Kopernika Street. Unfortunately, a blast of explosion destroyed the stained glass, and it wasn't until 1972 when the masterpiece was reconstructed.

Finaly, my first Apollo in a combo with the Apollo Speed.
This car is really one of the most amazing cars i've ever seen. It is just totaly insane that this is street legal.
I really hope that more people will buy the Apollo because it has one of the biggest 'WOW' factors and it drives just better then perfect...
Please leave a comment at my first Apollo i've spotted.
