The Apollo 8 Command/Service Module is removed from the altitude chamber in the Manned Spacecraft Operations Building at KSC, prior to mating with its Saturn V launch vehicle.
1/20th scale Lunar Excursion Module (LEM) engineering model depicting its descent to the lunar surface, ca. 1966.
Note: The ladder appears to be missing...on an "engineering model". I think not. "Desktop model"...sure.
"EVA-1 at the LM. Jack took this picture as Gene approaches him on the LRV during the initial test drive. Note the dust being thrown up by the right-front wheel, even at very low speed."

Astronaut Eugene A. Cernan, commander, makes a short checkout of the Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV) during the early part of the first Apollo 17 extravehicular activity (EVA) at the Taurus-Littrow landing site. This view of the "stripped down" LRV is prior to loading up. Note the dust being thrown up by the right-front wheel, even at very low speed. Equipment later loaded onto the LRV included the ground-controlled television assembly, the lunar communications relay unit, hi-gain antenna, low-gain antenna, aft tool pallet, lunar tools and scientific gear. This photograph was taken by scientist-astronaut Harrison H. Schmitt, lunar module pilot. The mountain in the right background is the east end of South Massif. While astronauts Cernan and Schmitt descended in the Lunar Module (LM) "Challenger" to explore the moon, astronaut Ronald E. Evans, command module pilot, remained with the Command and Service Modules (CSM) "America" in lunar orbit.

The inoperative TV camera is at the right-hand side of the picture and the erectable S-Band antenna is visible beyond the plus-Y (north) strut, with the unsupported/drooping U.S. Flag immediately to its left. Note that Pete Conrad is standing slightly below the level of the footpads, having moved partway down the initial slope of Surveyor Crater to take this pan - testimony to his sh!t-hot piloting skills.
ALSJ paraphrase above.
A test subject being suited up for studies on the Reduced Gravity Walking Simulator at NASA’s Langley Research Center in Virginia. This position meant that a person's legs experienced only one sixth of their weight, which was the equivalent of being on the lunar surface. The purpose of this simulator was to study the subject while walking, jumping or running.

Taking a cue from Gene Cernan, Jack Schmitt goes above and beyond, going to one knee in order to capture/compose one of the many spectacular photos from the last Apollo mission to the moon, December 1972.
The photo is incorrectly captioned.
An enlargement of the photo that Jack is taking at this moment not only shows his (Jack's) reflection - you can see him holding the sample collection scoop in his left hand - but also the faint image/features/outlines of Gene's face:

People take a look at our leaflets bearing the image of Kalki Avatar Ra Gohar Shahi as a presenter publicly announces the message of divine love. (Rajasthan, India).
Read about this woman’s amazing experience with Lord Ra Riaz Gohar Shahi’s Image on the Moon. This is true story about miraculous spiritual healing that anybody, anywhere in the world can witness! www.goharshahi.us/news/view/miracle-lord-gohar-shahi-india/
A member of Messiah Foundation International holds up a banner announcing that Lord Ra Riaz is the Awaited One.
“High-oblique view of the moon's surface showing Earth rising above the lunar horizon, looking west-southwest, as photographed from the Apollo 8 spacecraft as it orbited the moon. The center of the picture is located at about 105 degrees east longitude and 13 degrees south latitude. The lunar surface probably has less pronounced color than indicated by this print.”

NASA INFO: February 20, 1962. 9:47:39 am EST. Cape Canaveral Launch Complex 14. Powered flight lasted 5 minutes 1 second and was completed normally. During the launch countdown on 2/20/62, all systems were energized and final overall checks were made. the count started at T-390 minutes by installing and connecting the escape-rocket igniter. The service structure was then cleared and the spacecraft was powered to verify no inadvertent pyrotechnic ignition. The personnel then returned to the service structure to prepare for static firing of the reaction control system at T-250 minutes. The spacecraft was then prepared for boarding at T-120 minutes. The hatch was put into place at T-90 minutes. During installation a bolt was broken, and the hatch had to be removed to replace the bolt causing a 40 minute hold. From T-90 to T-55 final mechanical work and spacecraft checks were made and the service was evacuated and moved away from the launch vehicle. At T-45 minutes, a 15 minute hold was required to add fuel to the launch vehicle and at T-22 minutes and additional 25 minutes was required for filling the liquid-oxygen tanks as a result of a minor malfunction in the ground support equipment used to pump liquid oxygen into the launch vehicle. At approximately T-35 minutes, filling of the liquid-oxygen tanks began and final spacecraft and launch vehicle systems checks were
started. At T-10 minutes the spacecraft went on internal power. At T-6min 30 seconds, a 2 minute hold was required to make a quick check of the network computer at Bermuda. The launch vehicle went on internal power at T-3 minutes. At T-35 seconds the spacecraft umbilical was ejected and at T-0 the main engines started. Liftoff occurred at T+4 seconds at 9:47:39am EST.
Original 1964 Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corporation (GAEC) documentation photo of both Lunar Excursion Module Descent Engine/Descent Propulsion System mockups under development at the time. Most likely photographed as part of/in preparation for the mock-up review conducted at GAEC’s Bethpage, Long Island facility. On the left is the Space Technology Laboratories (STL), (subsequently TRW) model. On the right is North American Aviation’s (NAA) Rocketdyne division model. Both NASA-approved developmental efforts were running in parallel at this time.
NAS 9-1100 is the contract number with NASA for GAEC’s development and production of the LEM/LM.
Very interesting chronological sequence of the competing efforts available here. Googling “Rocketdyne” will streamline the reading:

Neither here nor there; however, most of the labels on the STL LMDE/DPS and the Rocketdyne logo on the data plate of the other engine are legible. Testament to the quality photography.

Take a look at tonight's Blue Moon! Can you see the image of Lord Ra Riaz Gohar Shahi? www.theawaitedone.com/divine-signsTheMoon
A fantastic RCA Astro-Electronics artist’s concept that oozes that classic 50’s sci-fi look, unintentionally. Check out the very early Lunar Excursion Module's landing struts/gear. The lunar terrain/horizon & zodiacal light...maybe? Although, probably, artistic license. And that television camera, with RCA logo of course…a ‘miniaturized’ version of the box-like configuration of those in earthly television studios of the time. But, by golly, it’s employable by both tripod…and precariously, by hand!
Based on the photograph’s numbering and the space suits, complete with flag football "flags", I’m pretty sure from 1963. In fact, the 1962 Ames Research Center space suits they’re based upon are linked to below.
Don’t the colors/hues & landscape have a “Forbidden Planet” look?
My sincere thanks to Paul Carsola for indentifying/confirming this to be the NAA LEM seen in the iconic photo of JFK at MSC in 1962, hence my rework of my crappy original description.
The RCA artist is “Scotto”. Maybe? I think so. Supported by his residence of 55+ years being less than 10 miles from the David Sarnoff Research Center (DSRC)…the central research organization for the Radio Corporation of America (RCA).

The third of three photos Gene Cernan took of Jack Schmitt jumping into the passenger/LMP LRV seat. Good view of the segmented mirror on the top of the TV camera. Note the seismic charge transporter mounted behind Gene's seat, just in front of the rake. Both the low-gain and high-gain antennas are pointed at Earth. East Massif is in the distance.
Paraphrased - of course - from the ALSJ.

R.E.M. - Man On The Moon (1992)
At 10:39 p.m., five hours ahead of the original schedule, Armstrong opened the hatch of the lunar module.
As he made his way down the module's ladder, a television camera attached to the craft recorded his progress and beamed the signal back to Earth, where hundreds of millions watched in great anticipation.
At 10:56 p.m., as Armstrong stepped off the ladder and planted his foot on the moon’s powdery surface, he spoke his famous quote, which he later contended was slightly garbled by his microphone and meant to be "that's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind."
A technological achievement not yet equaled in my humble opinion.
A moment when many young person's imagination ran wild, I know mine did.
Along with a few other things just prior to my preteen years. :0)
Among the reasons I chose the career I did & the wonderful hobby of amateur radio.

A presenter from Kalki Avatar Foundation, Bangladesh delivering the message of Kalki Avatar to all people.
Wonderful & surely rare commemorative raised relief map of Tranquility Base, as produced by the United States Army Topographic Command (TOPOCOM), ca. 1969/70.
Erroneously, an Apollo 12 photograph of Pete Conrad on the moon is with the U.S. flag is featured. Really...how do you mess that up?! The photo of Aldrin facing/saluting Old Glory was plastered everywhere!
I believe the larger crater to the far right - it’s rim immediately to the right of the “e” - to be Little West Crater.
TOPOCOM even took a stab at where the U.S. flag was planted. As a military organization, it’s pretty much expected.
