“Landing and Ascent facility, Flight Crew Training Building, KSC, 13 May 1969.”
An excellent view of Apollo Landing Site 3, mounted overhead, in the Landing and Ascent Facility, Kennedy Space Center. Manufactured by the United States Army Topographic Command, the relief model was used by the Apollo 11 Astronauts while training in the Lunar Module Simulator a few feet away. Site 3, in the southwestern portion of Sinus Medii, was a back-up landing site for Armstrong & Aldrin.

Many people gathered at the Durga Temple to hear Kalki Avatar Ra Gohar Shahi's philosophy of Divine Love.
This is a few months old but i only realised the other night that i hadn't worked on this set of photos.
This is my favourite of the set though.

Wonderful & surely rare commemorative raised relief map of Tranquility Base, as produced by the United States Army Topographic Command (TOPOCOM), ca. 1969/70.
TOPOCOM even took a stab at where the U.S. flag was planted. And actually, as a military organization, it’s pretty much expected. Speaking of U.S. flags on the moon...awesome:

I don’t understand the two “camera stations” at/on the LM. One, sure, initially as part of the MESA. But the other? Or is it just referring to photography out the two LM windows?

Apollo 17 roll-out(?)
Vehicle/mission identification based primarily upon the hand annotated number, and the clouds...their appearance looks right...that is, if this is indeed a "roll-out photo".

Neil Armstrong tests his A7L space suit
“Collection of six rare original vintage glossy red-numbered NASA photos, 8 x 10 and 10 x 8, all showing Neil Armstrong in his space suit during Apollo 11 suit testing and fitting. Dan Schaiewitz is seen in a few of the images. All bear “A Kodak Paper” watermarks on the reverse. In overall fine condition. A wonderful assemblage of rarely seen behind-the-scenes images. From the collection of Dan Schaiewitz, who worked as Extravehicular Crew Training Engineer at KSC.”
I am posting only three of the six.

Pete Conrad at the controls of a Lunar Module "simulator/mockup" in 1964...that appears to have been pieced together by some middle school kids in a garage. Interior construction appears to be cardboard, paper, possibly poster-board & masking tape...who knows...maybe even some baling wire & bubble gum. The view out the window is pretty funky looking as well, neither earthly OR moonly...although appropriately foreboding.
In all seriousness, I'm sure the early continual evolution in LEM/LM design, combined with the relentless pace and pressure to achieve the timelines & meet the ultimate goal, along with the critical optimal & efficient human-machine interface necessitated "going with what you got" in order to maintain forward momentum.
Amazing...across the board; from both man and machine.

NASA Administrator James E. Webb holds a model of an early version of the Grumman Lunar Excursion Module (LEM) and a model of the Boeing Lunar Orbiter. Although the photograph bears a date stamp of 1966, the photo (based on the 'version' of the LEM model) may have been taken earlier. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Pete Conrad has turned toward the ALSEP Central Station to get a "locator" to show the location of the small mound he has just photographed. Alan Bean seems to be adjusting the PSE thermal skirt. The glow around Bean is due to a dust smudge on the center of the lens, which first appears in AS12-46-6813.

Was it really 40 years ago that Apollo 11 landed on the Sea of Tranquillity, and man first walked on the moon? I know I am not the only person asking myself that question today.
I was 17 and looking forward to beginning my senior year in high school. I had my own car, and had just purchased my first television set that I kept in my room (which was painted black and decorated with posters that glowed under black light). Life was good.
Most of my friends and I knew this date - July 20, 1969 - was one that we would always remember. After dinner that night, I borrowed my mom's Rolleiflex camera (which is sitting in front of me as I write this) so I could take pictures of the moonwalk off the television. I remember being tuned to CBS watching Walter Cronkite describe the landing of the lunar module earlier that afternoon, and talking about the historic event we were about to witness.
As the moment approached - which was just before 10 p.m. CDT, I turned off the lights in my bedroom and, holding the camera, took the five photographs seen here beginning with "Armstrong On Moon" and ending with President Nixon's very long distance phone call to Astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin. The images are grainy and not very high contrast, but that's the way things were back then. I just feel fortunate to have been at an age where I could appreciate the importance of the moment, and to have these photos as a personal record of that very special day.
The Command Module seems to be sprouting an asymmetrically located & oversized thruster.
