Jaime: "I'm going to pound you to pieces!"
After learning from the service modules assessment of her damaged leg, Jaime breaks into the side of the module to remove the crystal frequency modulator she needs in order to make the repair.
“APOLLO 16 TV PICTURE/LM LIFTOFF----The Apollo 16 Lunar Module "Orion" ascent stage makes its lift off from the lunar surface in this reproduction taken from a color television transmission made by the RCA color TV camera mounted on the Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV). The LRV-mounted TV camera, remotely controlled from the Mission Control Center, made it possible for people on Earth to watch the LM's spectacular launch from the Moon. The liftoff was at 175:44 ground elapsed time, 7:26 p.m. (CST), April 23, 1972. The "Orion" ascent stage, with Astronauts John W. Young and Charles M. Duke Jr. aboard, returned from the lunar surface to rejoin the Command and Service Modules orbiting the moon. Astronaut Thomas K. Mattingly II remained with the CSM in lunar orbit while Young and Duke descended in the LM to explore the Descartes landing site. The LM descent stage is used as a launching platform and remains behind on the Moon.”
A slight variation, associated with subsequent online NASA “issuances” of the image. I don’t why they/somebody felt compelled to tweak it, it was fine the way it was originally written…better actually. Dumbasses:
“The Apollo 16 Lunar Module "Orion" ascent stage makes its liftoff from the lunar surface in this reproduction taken from a color television transmission made by the RCA color TV camera mounted on the Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV). Remotely controlled from NASA's Mission Control Center (MCC) in Houston, the LRV-mounted camera made it possible for persons on Earth to watch the LM's launch from the moon. Liftoff occurred at 175:44 ground elapsed time, 7:26 p.m. (CST), April 23, 1972. The "Orion" ascent stage, with astronauts John W. Young and Charles M. Duke Jr. aboard, returned from the lunar surface to rejoin the Command and Service Modules (CSM) orbiting the moon. Astronaut Thomas K. (Ken) Mattingly II remained with the CSM in lunar orbit while Young and Duke descended in the LM to explore the Descartes landing site. The LM descent stage is used as a launching platform and remains behind on the moon.”
It's obvious there’s something amiss/different going on with the aft ascent stage panels in the image…”buckling” as it was referred to by NASA. In the following video, you can see/say it’s more like “flapping”, seemingly only remaining attached along their top borders:

After struggling with sub-standard tables at public shows resulting in warped baseplates, wavy track alignment, etc.; I decided I should build my own table modules. The design objectives were as follows:
1) self-contained table module with legs, wiring, etc. built-in
2) dimensionally aligned to integer multiples of 16-studs
3) mutually aligned with dowels and/or bolts in both end-end or end-side configurations
4) support optional drop-in modules between self-standing modules
The design you see here is the result. I have built 4x of these modules for my latest Lego model railway and I am quite satisfied with the result. They have proven to be very robust and provide a flat consistent surface for the baseplates. The disadvantage of this design is its weight. Its a compromise I was willing to accept in exchange for robustness. These modules have to survive the rigours of transport to/from public shows as well as within my own house!

NASA’s Orion spacecraft–the crew module and European-built service module—is being lifted into a thermal cage and readied for its move on Tuesday into the vacuum chamber at NASA’s Plum Brook Station for testing. Testing begins with a 60-day thermal test, where the spacecraft will be subjected to temperatures ranging from -250 to 300-degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it can withstand the harsh environment of space during Artemis missions. These extreme temperatures simulate flying in-and-out of sunlight and shadow in space using Heat Flux, a specially-designed system that heats specific parts of the spacecraft at any given time. Orion will also be surrounded on all sides by a set of large panels, called a cryogenic-shroud, that will provide the cold background temperatures of space.

Hahahahaha, pathetic little piece of land.
But one of the 20 modules nonetheless.
Don't you dare to fave this one.
Led flash module. Inside the opening for the Mitutoyo 10X lens. The 12 power leds are not solderd but connected via 24 x M2 brass screws which press on the led contacts. I can even modify LED types with the same module.
The 12 LEDs are divided into 6 groups. Each time there are two LEDs connected together on the PCB. LEDs shine through the 12 holes of 8mm diameter each. Each group can be controlled separately. The direction and amount of light may be a result set.
The base plate is made of aluminum for cooling. The back of the LEDs have an additional thin special thermal film of 0.2mm in order to have good thermal conductivity. The LEDs can operate continuously at full power.

"Going through the Ardennes" is a H0 track network of 9m long, double track electrified 25 000V, citing several sites Artery Northeast (important and famous line from the SNCF network and through Sedan!) in a part of the Ardennes.
The network is used to circulate many long trains which characteristic in a typical setting based on real sites.
The front of the network consists of five modules crib 1.25 m long. The modules are connected to a versatile array of eight channels. Two curves are half the junction between the modules and the beam. A large radius, they support dual-channel and four sidings.
this is where i will be hanging the world's longest marblechute during the next 6 weeks for the grand opening of planet modulor on the 30th of september.

this is the actual apollo module that took 3 astronauts to the moon(thomas stafford,eugene cernan,john young) in 1969..call-sign "charlie brown"..it was the only part to return to earth,bringing all 3 astronauts safely into the pacific..on the base,it shows burns from re-entry..
Bremen, Germany. Orion's European Service Module is loaded on the Antonov airplane for transport to Kennedy Space Center.
For the first time, NASA will use a European-built system as a critical element to power an American spacecraft, extending the international cooperation of the International Space Station into deep space. The European Service Module is a unique collaboration across space agencies and industry including ESA’s prime contractor, Airbus, and 10 European countries. The completion of service module work in Europe and shipment to Kennedy signifies a major milestone toward NASA’s human deep space exploration missions to the Moon and beyond.

the man in the bottom left corner is kai, a designer who works for modulor. he helped me build the scaffolding, among other things, thx kai!!
must be seen big
The LM was built by Grumman Aircraft and designed by aerospace engineer Thomas J. Kelly. It was comprised of an octagon-shaped descent stage with landing gear and an irregular-shaped ascent stage that contained the instrument panels and flight controls. The ascent and descent stages measured a combined 18 feet in height (22 feet with the antennas), 14 feet in width and 13.3 feet in depth. Early versions had three landing legs, large windows, seats, and a forward docking port. The three-leg configuration was light but unstable, therefore, a four-leg solution was chosen. The large windows, seats, and additional docking port were removed. Crew in the LM would stand and have smaller viewports for piloting. The removal of the docking port meant that the lunar orbit rendezvous was in the hands of the Command Module Pilot.
The shape and size of the LM was difficult to capture accurately at minifig scale. The limited size and variety of the Lego blocks available posed a challenge to accurately render the complex shapes of the LM.

This is the type of vehicle used to land on the lunar surface by astronauts in the Apollo missions to the Moon. The one on display in the National Air and Space Museum is a real lander whose mission was canceled. The lower halves of six of these vehicles are still sitting on the lunar surface. The upper halves carried the astronauts back to their command module for return home. A lunar lander like this was seen in "Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian."
A titanium deployment and downlock truss from the landing gear of the lunar module beckons in the corner…
But the autopilot brain-in-a-box is much more interesting.
It's a core memory module from a Saturn LVDC (Launch Vehicle Digital Computer). They are quite rare as scrap dealers recover $20-30K of gold and platinum from these cores. (more photos from the spaceaholic source of this). The outer wrap consists of timing, drive, inhibit and sensing circuits.
More interesting still is the ghost in the machine. The magnetic cores within still hold whatever program they had when powered down. Since there are no tapes or archives of the code, it is possible that the only remaining copy of the Saturn V flight program is in cores like this. I have the load/write boards, and they look very wonky. If you know of any living domain expert on this system, please point them my way.
This module stores 106k bits (4096 words of 26 bits, 28 with 2 parity bits, across 14 planes with a 128 x 64 fabric of ferrite donuts)... encoding 26-bit instructions, with the first triple-redundant logic. Ultrasonic delay line cache. Destructive readouts. Failure is not an option.

And one is a Tabletop Crawfish Support Module. Our pond scum expedition netted (literally, heh) a tiny crawfish. We'll see what happens.
from a project in Make: magazine.
The same module is used for the 4-Piece model [left] and 8 Pajaritas #2 [top]. There is only a slight modification to the module for the latter.
Orion is NASA’s next spacecraft to send humans into space. It is designed to send astronauts further into space than ever before, beyond the Moon to asteroids and even Mars. When they return to Earth, the astronauts will enter our atmosphere at speeds over 32 000 km/h but the capsule will protect them and ensure a bumpy but safe landing.
ESA has designed and is overseeing the development of Orion’s service module, the part of the spacecraft that supplies air, electricity and propulsion. Much like a train engine pulls passenger carriages and supplies power, the European Service Module will take the Orion capsule to its destination and back.
Orion will go further than any other crewed spacecraft has before and European design and technology will make that happen.
