"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.

And one is a Tabletop Crawfish Support Module. Our pond scum expedition netted (literally, heh) a tiny crawfish. We'll see what happens.

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.
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.

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.

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.

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.
