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..
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!

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.

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.

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 Orion service module structural test article for Exploration Mission-1 (EM-1), built by the European Space Agency, is moved inside NASA's Super Guppy aircraft at Kennedy Space Center's Shuttle Landing Facility, managed by Space Florida. The module will be secured inside the aircraft and shipped to Lockheed Martin's Denver facility to undergo testing. The Orion spacecraft will launch atop the agency's Space Launch System rocket on EM-1 in 2019. . Photo credit: NASA/Glenn Benson

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.

Astronauts David R. Scott and James B. Irwin landed Falcon, the Apollo 15 lunar module (LM), on the Moon on July 30, 1971. To begin their three-day stay in the Moon's Hadley-Apennine region, Scott performed the first and only stand-up EVA through the top hatch of the LM, getting a clear view of their surroundings.
In this frame from a panoramic series of photos Scott took, Bennett Hill is visible on the horizon and a portion of the top of the LM is in the foreground.

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.

The unmanned Saturn/Apollo 5 was the first test flight of the Lunar Module (LM). Mission objectives were to verify the ascent and descent stages, the propulsion systems, and the restart operations, and to evaluate the spacecraft structure, LM staging, 2nd stage (S-IVB) and instrument unit orbital performance.
