That's amazing. I just can't fathom that experience. The mind is a weird and mysterious place |

I was 7.5 years old then, Apollo 8, 3 more to go until 11-17, minus of course 13, My Mom's handiwork is up on the moon, She did touch up on the parts for that program back then. 1968 is 47 years back, 45 happened in 2013. 47 years, My how time flies..

Superb video. I remember going to a photographic exhibition in London a few years back where they showed a lot of the slides from the Apollo missions - those large format (two and a quarter square?) 'blads certainly produced some stunning pictures, and the sharpness - out of this world (quite literally) Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe? |

BAck in the 80s, I built a presentation backdrop for a group I was in, using an 8'x12' wallpaper of that photo. Haven't seen those kits in a while..... Donald Infernal Optimist / Submariner, retired |

Superb video. In Science Museum in London they have a real Apollo Command Module at display. At very least when I was there. Don't remember what number it was...

Superb video. That's only the Apollo 10 capsule/command module, The whole Command+Service Module is much bigger.. The T1 Trust, PRR T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, 1 of America's First HST's |

That's only the Apollo 10 capsule/command module, The whole Command+Service Module is much bigger.. And that is after reentry into Earth's atmosphere from space, the recovery was in the Pacific Ocean. Apollo 10 had a real live lander, but there were fears the lander would be too heavy to take off from the lunar surface, so the LEM only had 50% of its total fuel capacity filled, enough to almost make a landing and then return to the Command/Service module in lunar orbit, which meant that only 2 astronauts were onboard, since 1 astronaut had to fly the CS module while in orbit, why? The onboard computer was only a 4 bit computer and could not do much without being programmed on the spot, only an astronaut could compensate for the moons irregular surface, the moon has no geosynchronous orbit, todays computers though can compensate, as long as there is enough fuel to maintain an orbit. All moon rocks brought back from the moon by the Apollo Program(11-12 and 14-17), are considered US Government Property. The T1 Trust, PRR T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, 1 of America's First HST's |

Here's pics of the biggest baddest rockets built to date, it was claimed the Saturn V rocket had enough throw weight to go to Pluto... Apollo 1 is not pictured cause of the Fire that killed 3 Astronauts, 2 and 3 were cancelled, 4 was the 1st with a revised atmosphere and such.

Superb video. Back in the days of chemical photography I used to dream about owning a "blad". |

I remember where I was when the moon landing took place. As a kid in Travemunde waiting for a ferry with my family. Saturn V without solid boosters. Just kerosine and LOX:) |
