"A la mesure des hommes, à la mesure des nombres. Le corps humain choisi comme support admissible des nombres, voilà la proportion. La proportion met de l'ordre dans nos rapports avec l'alentour"

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.

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.

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.

The kitchen module. In a lot of ways this was the most complex section. Again the goal was a screen accurate representation. I absolutely did not want large blocky shelves, fridge etc. And space is tight here.
I'm very impressed with the results even if I do say so myself.

NASA/Grumman Apollo Lunar Module Booklet
Each of the 118 numbered parts are identified in the legend in back page of the booklet.
Playing around with Dirk Eisner's Square Cross Modules. 4 modules folded from 2x1 rectangles [15cm x 7.5cm] are assembled. 2 mountain folds are applied to the modules to form a box-like model and finally, 2 other 2x1 rectangles are inserted into each other to form form a cylinder which is inserted inside the model for better stability.

Thanks to Dirk Eisner for sharing his module.

The island project started with this two year old MOC. Still acceptable and will be used as it is with the 11 other modules I plan to build.

Today I received the last components, the Cokin P filter holder and 3 gradiënt ND filters ( H250A ND Grad Kit ). An adapter ring M82 is used with the LED module housing. Here you see the drawing of the background exposure module on the 3 axis X-Y and Z. The Cokin P holder can contain several filters but it is mainly intended for the gradient filters or completely black if no background is desired. The right color is given by the RGBW power LEDs. The entire module can move from very close to far away the object ( Z - axis).

Technicians at the Airbus facility in Bremen, Germany prepare the European Service Module for shipment to Kennedy Space Center. The service module will depart Germany on November 5, 2018 and will arrive in the U.S. on November 6.

Here it is!
Diagram for my basic module is done.
I'll be thankful to whoever will send impressions and/or report mistakes (grammar mistakes also... english is not my mother language so...).
I will not be thankful to whoever will misuse this diagram (you know what I'm writing about)... I remember to those with bad intentions that there is a high probability that my ancestors were gipsies and I can send terrible maledictions ;-DDDDD
I'm just saying that this is a CC image, please use it properly.
I really hope you can have fun in folding it, as I do... whoever will fold a cube and report it will have a week of luck, a month for the octahedron and a whole year for the icosahedron... I'm not sure it'll work but this is my wish for you :-)
Enjoy!!!!
See the cube
See the octahedron
See the icosahedron
See the box (variation diagram on the way)
All my thanks go to Yuri and Katrin Shumakov at ORILAND because folding their models changed my way of thinking straight folds patterns.
Completed another module for the Labyrinth. By flipping a lever on the back of the module the floor pops up and the adventurers find themselves in the pit of vipers. More on the way.
Again, I apologize for the terrible quality of my phone camera. It's just so much more convenient for a quick picture.

triangel module CP - you need 3 modules to assemble a triangel - 6 modules to assemble a woven triangle ...
I have decided to name the module as, "Cubo Modules" Initially I wanted to call it "Cuboctahedron Module" because the first model I assembled from these modules was the Cuboctahedron. It is a very long name. Therefore, I shorten it to Cubo.
The models in this photo are assembled from the same modules. 3 modules to form the Prism, 6 for the Cuboctahedron, 12 for the Rhombicuboctahedron and 30 modules for the Rhombicosidodecahedron.
Two weeks after Sandy, my friend Brittany and I volunteered to help clean up the aftermath in Toms River. We joined Samaritan's Volunteer Group where we met Robert, Joseph, Linda, Daniel, Rosalind, Patrick, Donald and Hamish. We learned that we all were in some way affected by the storm, but found that our situations could not compare to what we witnessed. We drove through the storm ravaged town, and saw that once familiar places were now gone. Not only were belongings scattered, but actual homes crumbled and tossed like a piece of paper by Sandy. What we saw was heart wrenching, and no picture could justify the extent of the damage. Being there in person made everything seem surreal. I lost power for 9 days, they lost their homes. We arrived at the home of a man named Syra. He told us that him, his wife, and children lived in that house for 25 years and never experienced anything remotely like this. We learned that Syra was in an unfortunate situation (like many, many others!)because the insurance on his home would not cover the cost to rebuild it.
Armed with nothing more than a couple hammers, crowbars, and screw drivers, we began to tear down the flood ravished interior. The water was about 4 1/2 feet high. You can see the flood line in the picture of the bathroom. We tried to salvage whatever we could, but a large portion of the house walls needed to be completely ripped down. We didn't have the proper tools to do this job, so we weren't going to do it. I knew that if the walls in Syra's home were not taking down, then he would have to pay even more money to the contractors that were scheduled to come the next day. He lost everything, even his business, and this made us not take no for an answer. We began to tear the walls down with our bare hands, and I began to kick one completely out (I knew something good would come out of these grasshopper legs of mine!). The energy that I felt in that room was overwhelming. We were all complete strangers but shared a common feeling and worked together to achieve something that was greater than what we expected.
Syra came back to the house. He began to sob while he thanked us repeatedly for what we had done. Through tears, he told us that he believed we were sent there to him that day by God to help him and his family recover. Syra then said that he hadn't been able to sleep in 2 weeks, but thanks to us, he would be able to sleep that night.
I didn't go there with the belief that we were miracle workers. And even though I volunteered with a Christian group, I didn't go there to represent God or any type of faith. But I went there with the belief that I could possibly make a difference, even if it was small.
