Aboard a Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center aircraft, Expedition 42/43 Flight Engineer Samantha Cristoforetti, (center), affixes a decal of the ESA logo of her mission to the cabin wall next to the Soyuz crew decal Nov. 11 in a traditional activity en route to her launch site at the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. Looking on are her crewmates, NASA’s Terry Virts (left) and Soyuz Commander Anton Shkaplerov of the Russian Federal Space Agency (Roscosmos, right). The trio are preparing for their launch on the Soyuz TMA-15M spacecraft from Baikonur on Nov. 24, Kazakh time, for a five and a half month mission on the International Space Station.

I could relate to your quiet. i could notice all the stars burning under those thick layers and your attempts to smile.

Déjà deux semaines depuis le retour sur terre (c’est moi ou le temps passe plus vite ici ?!), j’ai bien repris mes marques dans la vie terrestre. L’emploi du temps s’allège un peu, du coup j’en profite pour ouvrir mon courrier... 😅😳😱

“Apollo 11 Astronauts, left-to-right, Edwin E. Aldrin, Jr., Neil A. Armstrong and Michael Collins, pose in front of full-scale lunar module mock-up similar to the spacecraft that will be carried on their flight to the Moon later this year. While Astronaut Collins pilots the command module in lunar orbit, Aldrin and Armstrong are to descend in the lunar module, perform their lunar surface mission and return to the orbiting command module. The trio will be launched by an Apollo/Saturn V space vehicle from the Kennedy Space Center.”
The caption associated with a similar photograph (linked to below), and obviously from the same ‘photo op’:
“This portrait of the prime crew of the Apollo 11 lunar landing mission was taken the day after NASA announced the crew assignment. Left to right are Edwin E. Aldrin Jr., lunar module pilot; Neil A. Armstrong, commander; and Michael Collins, command module pilot. They were photographed in front of a lunar module mockup beside Building 1 at what is now Johnson Space Center following a press conference at the Center to introduce the crew.

Date: January 10, 1969”
Consensus in all photos of this event is that it/they was/were taken the day after the announcement of the Apollo 11 crew. Yet not a mention of such in the caption of the posted photograph, just the usual generic pablum…along with a release date of February 28, 1969. Huh & WTF?

Finally, the building the LM is in front of; Building 1, the Auditorium and External Relations Office Building. It even has pictures of the LM being prepared for erection AND against the odds, confirms/correctly identifies its history:

Astronauts on ESA's 2016 underground training course CAVES pose for a picture in front of a cave entrance. From left: cosmonaut Sergei Vladimirovich, ESA astronaut Pedro Duque, taikonaut Ye Guangfu, Japanese astronaut Aki Hoshide and NASA astronauts Ricky Arnold and Jessica Muir.
Caves offer a dark and alien underground environment with many analogies to space. Deep underground, our senses are deprived of many sounds and natural light. The procedure for moving along a cave wall resembles spacewalking and cave explorers need to stay alert, take critical decisions both as an individual and as a team, just as in space.
The CAVES – Cooperative Adventure for Valuing and Exercising – course focuses on multicultural approaches to leadership, following orders, teamwork and decision-making.

ISS047e032018 (04/01/2016) --- NASA astronaut Jeff Williams works to install the Cell Biology Experiment Facility (CBEF) Cell Mechanosensing Humidifier. Cell Mechanosensing is a Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) investigation that identifies gravity sensors in skeletal muscle cells to develop countermeasures to muscle atrophy, a key space health issue. Scientists believe that the lack of mechanical stress from gravity causes tension fluctuations in the plasma membrane of skeletal muscle cells which changes the expression of key proteins and genes, and allows muscles to atrophy.

"The Crucinaut of Overlapping Magisteria" (photograph #2) by 1CONOCLA5T. 1n this series the artist seeks to show the contrast and conflict between science and religion. The title is a reference to the famous quote by american paleontologist Steven J Gould that science and religion are "non-overlapping magisteria". In this piece the suffering Christ is replaced on the cross by an Apollo astronaut to represent the way in which religion has for centuries persecuted science and rational thinkers while at the same time by using the iconic image of an Apollo astronaut, reminding the viewer of one of human kinds greatest achievements, the landing of humans on the moon. such an achievement was only possible once religion was forced thanks to the discovery's of science to loosen its grip on the human race as a whole. it should be noted that it didn't do so without a fight and continues to try to regain that lost ground.
Despite airplanes, automobiles, smartphones, heart transplants, the internet and lets not forget the moon landing, there are still people who want to teach creationism in public schools and think Noah's ark is a literal story about a real 600 year old man. As well as irrational lunatics who say we never even went to the moon and the earth is actually flat.
iss065e162209 (July 7, 2021) --- NASA astronaut and Expedition 65 Flight Engineer Megan McArthur observes the Astrobee robotic free-flyer inside the Kibo laboratory module. Part of the SoundSee Mission science experiment, the toaster-sized robotic assistant demonstrated its ability to “listen” to station components to help detect anomalies in spacecraft systems that may need servicing.

Shot at an event at Technik-Museum Speyer in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 Moon landing.
This was shot with a Zeiss Ikon Contarex Special using a Zeiss Ikon Planar lens, exactly the same set-up as used by astronaut Ed White during the Gemini 4 mission, when he became the first American to do and EVA. He used the Contarex during his spacewalk.
