Module 3 has arrived which means I have all the parts from Marlin to finish the build. Still loads to source from other places though

Command Module “Kitty Hawk”
The Apollo 14 Command Module, Kitty Hawk, is on display at the Apollo Saturn 5 Center at Kennedy Space Center.
The Apollo 14 Command Module, nicknamed “Kitty Hawk,” was recovered from a successful Pacific Ocean splashdown on February 9, 1971. The lunar landing mission began with a successful launch on January 31, 1971. Mission Commander Alan Shepard and Lunar Module Pilot Edgar Mitchell landed the Lunar Module “Antares” in the Fra Mauro region of the moon, the original goal of the aborted Apollo 13 mission, four and one-half days after launch. During nine hours of lunar exploration, the astronauts used a two-wheeled cart for transporting equipment, collected 96 pounds of lunar material, and set up lunar surface experiments.
The Apollo 14 Command module (CM 110), with most of the internal instruments, panels, controls and couches removed by NASA for reuse, was declared surplus and transferred from NASA to the Smithsonian in 1974.

The Apollo Lunar Module was the only true manned spacecraft ever built. It was only meant to operate in the unique conditions of space. Since it only had to operate in the 1/6th gravity of the Moon, the spacecraft's structure was reduced to such a point that a flight-ready LM would not even support its own weight on Earth. The LM's unusual spider-like appearance was due to the fact that its designers never had worry about aerodynamics for it would only operate in the vacuum of space.
Since the LM did not incorporate a protective heatshield, none ever returned to Earth in one piece. After a mission was completed, the LM was either sent crashing back into the lunar surface, or allowed to burn up on reentry through the Earth's atmosphere. Due to this fact, the craft before you is one of the few Lunar Modules left in existence.
This specific Lunar Module was built by the Grumman Corporation- NASA's prime contractor for the LM. The spacecraft was originally built as an engineering test structure and has been restored by the Cosmosphere, complete with many flight-ready components
A very first test for a new mapping module we are working on...
