The Apollo Lunar Module (LM) was a two-stage vehicle designed by Grumman to ferry two astronauts from lunar orbit to the lunar surface and back. The upper ascent stage consisted of a pressurized crew compartment, equipment areas, and an ascent rocket engine. The lower descent stage had the landing gear and contained the descent rocket engine and lunar surface experiments.
LM 2 was built for a second unmanned Earth-orbit test flight. Because the test flight of LM 1, named Apollo 5, was so successful, a second mission was deemed unnecessary. LM-2 was used for ground testing prior to the first successful Moon-landing mission. In 1970 the ascent stage of LM-2 spent several months on display at the "Expo '70" in Osaka, Japan. When it returned to the United States, it was reunited with its descent stage, modified to appear like the Apollo 11 Lunar Module "Eagle," and transferred to the Smithsonian for display.

December 31st is an important day in Cuba. Families get together to prepare for the next big day, “Triumph of the Revolution” National Day, and they cook pork: “cerdo asado.” Most Cubans take on all preparations themselves. First, they take out the intestines and sew the belly back; then, above a slow-cooking fire, they spin the pork for four to five hours. “Santiagueros,” people living in Santiago de Cuba, are known to cook their pork publicly, in the street. On December 31st, we visited the outskirts of Santiago in the Mariana de la Torre neighborhood. At Gabriel’s house (last 2 photos), just as the pork was almost ready, Gabriel tore off one of the legs and handed it to me. That’s when I put the camera away. Delicious.
