"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.

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...

Portrait of the Apollo 9 prime crew in their space suits. From left to right they are: Commander, James A. McDivitt, Command Module pilot, David R. Scott, and Lunar Module pilot, Russell L. Schweickart. The Apollo 9 mission was designed to test the Apollo Command/Service and Lunar Modules in Earth orbit. The purpose was to verify that the Command/Service Module (CSM) could successfully dock with the Lunar Module (LM). The mission was also to test the LM systems in a "free flying" attitude to ensure that it performed as per specifications.

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.

My first real delve into urban exploration at the Apollo High School in Burlington, Iowa. Since I normally enjoy rural abandonments, this was an interesting experience. A handsome structure, built in 1908, it finally closed in 1983 as an alternative high school. Plans are underway to renovate into apartments.
This is the main auditorium, a real work of art. Sadly, the skylight in the middle has collapsed and landed in the middle of the seating.

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!

During a nighttime training session, a multiple exposure captures the movement of the Lunar Excursion Module Simulator (LEMS). The LEMS was a manned vehicle used to familiarize the Apollo astronauts with the handling characteristics of lunar-landing type vehicle. The Apollo Program is best known for the astronaut Neal Armstrong s first step on the Moon July 20, 1969. In its earliest test period, the LEMS featured a helicopter crew cabin atop the lunar landing module. Later, the helicopter crew cabin was replaced with a stand-up rectangular cabin which was more efficient for controlling maneuvers and for better viewing by the pilot. The vehicle was designed at Langley Research Center in Hampton, VA. This multiple exposure shows a simulated Moon landing of the (LEMS) trainer at Langley s Lunar Landing Research Facility.

Apollo Community Regional Park, named in honor of the Apollo 11 astronauts, was dedicated in 1972 and features three man-made lakes. The 54-acre park has walking paths around all three lakes.
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..

Went to the Apollo
You should have seen him go go go
They said, hey sugar, take a walk on the wild side
I said, hey babe, take a walk on the wild side
All right, huh

Founded in 1913 the Apollo Theater was owned by various Jewish families up until World War II. When the Apollo first opened, it was one of New York City’s leading burlesque venues, opened and operated by two of the city’s most influential burlesque operators — Jules Hurtig and Harry Seamon. Open to white-only viewers, the Hurtig and Seamon’s (New) Burlesque Theater would remain in operation until 1928 when Bill Minsky took over and transformed it into the 125th Street Apollo Theater. Sidney S. Cohen, a powerful theatrical landlord, purchased the Apollo in 1932 upon Minsky’s untimely death. The Apollo Theater finally opened its doors to African American patrons in 1934, 20 years after the building's original opening, showcasing "a colored review" entitled Jazz a la Carte. One of the theater’s first African American Amateur Night participants, a dancer turned singing sensation, was none other than Ella Fitzgerald.The Apollo became famous for launching the careers of artists such as Billie Holiday, James Brown, Diana Ross & The Supremes, Gladys Knight & The Pips, The Jackson 5, Patti LaBelle, Marvin Gaye, Luther Vandross, Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin, Ben E. King, Mariah Carey, The Isley Brothers, Lauryn Hill, Sarah Vaughan and hundreds more. The Apollo also featured the performances of old-time vaudeville favorites like Tim Moore, Stepin Fetchit, Godfrey Cambridge, Dewey "Pigmeat" Markham, Moms Mabley, Marshall "Garbage" Rogers, Johnny Lee. The rest is history.
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.
