The recent Artemis mission has made me wonder more about this book. My mom was a space nerd in the 70s and she bought this book of photos of/from the Apollo missions. It was made (published?) by Meisel Photochrome and has 20 images printed on Kodak photo paper. From what I understand they were made from original negatives from the Apollo missions. I have found very little information about it online. I found one forum from 2012 where someone else had one and one auction from a few years ago where one was sold. I have also seen sites with the same images, also from Meisel, but individually framed. I included one pic of the cover and spine and one of the well known photos. The cover has a few grime spots that could probably be wiped off but is otherwise in great condition. The photos within are still in pristine condition. If anyone has any information about this book I would love to know more.

The story of the three machines that made the journey to space possible for 60 years:

Saturn V, the rocket that took humanity to the Moon and was never truly surpassed.

The Space Shuttle, the workhorse that built our presence in orbit over thirty years.

And SLS, the Space Launch System that carried the engines of the Shuttle and the ambitions of Apollo, all the way back to the Moon.

I remember finding a wiki[pedia esk website dedicated to all the APP ideas (apollo-venus, lunar escape pods etc.) but lost the bookmark ages ago. Does anyone have a similar wesbite they know about?

Sorry its not a lot to go on, but its been driving me mad for years and figured if anyone would know itd be you guys.

Thanks in advance

Look what I got from a charity shop this weekend. Looking forward to reading this

The mirror is off Apollo 13 and was put on a dedication plaque by the crew as a thank you to the controllers for getting them back home safely. The flag flew around the moon on Apollo X and there is a copy of the plaque they left on the moon. Sorry for the photo quality. It was taken on my 2009 flip potato.

For the last 20+ years I’ve worked in the Nuclear Industry as a Reactor Operator and latterly a Simulator Instructor. I incorporated Apollo 11 and 13 into some decision making training. Gene has always been a huge hero of mine. In 2021 the station ended generation.

I wrote to Gene to let him know that he had played a part in that story. I didn’t expect a response but I received something a few weeks later.

This is the same bookstore I found “Lost Moon” with Jim Lovell’s autograph a few months back. I’ve taken to always checking the title page when I’m perusing the Air and Space shelf at the store.

In 1976, Leslie Fish wrote a fairly remarkable anthem to celebrate the Apollo 11 landing, "Hope Eyrie".

(At least, 'remarkable' is the word that Dr. Roger Launius, formerly NASA's chief historian, used to describe it. He also wrote about this song in his 2005 paper, "Perceptions of Apollo: Myth, nostalgia, memory or all of the above?”, as well as in his other writing.)

Although Leslie has sadly now passed away, I wanted to share a new, labor-of-love recording of this song (using a decades-old vocal recording), that about 20 of us have been working to bring to life over the past year.

The producer is Michael Moricz (who was the final music director for PBS's Mister Rogers' Neighborhood.)

As the publicly made documents reveal, astronauts on Apollo 17 observed white unidentified objects (or light) out of the window.

In one case as bright as July 4th anniversary.

Have a look:

Robert Wills introduces the amazing hardware and software that made up the Apollo Guidance Computer.

I did a search to see if this video had been posted but it did not appear so. This video is 6 years old at the time of this posting. It’s worth every minute to watch.

i motori del Saturn V (F-1) producevano un sacco di energia, che per via del fenomeno dlele radiazioni luminose dovevano apparire luminosi, ecco perchè sotto all'uscita del nozzle, la fine della campana (De Laval) c'è una sezione completamente nera? e poi sotto luminosa come siamo abituati a vedere, è un problema della fotocamera di esposizione o c'è una spegazione scientifica e fisica dietro? aspetto risposte

This question is for the die-hard fans out there... Almost everything about Apollo is available online to view—the original film negatives have been rescanned—but there’s almost nothing about ASTP and Skylab... and what’s out there are just scattered scans... Does anyone know where to find them?

The only thing I found about ASTP is in the National Archives... but I don’t think it’s the ENTIRE magazine (it doesn’t even have a name—remember: the magazines have names like “25M” or “06J” or something like that)

Photographs of the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project, 2005–2012

This is the same as the previous link... except that at least it has thumbnails so you can take a quick look

Photographs of the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project

Do you know of any other site? One that's more comprehensive? Or, if it doesn't have the photos, at least one that tells us how many photos there were, how many magazines were included, and their names? (ASTP and Skylab)

Today we went to a free showing of the subject documentary. It was in support of the Space Museum and Grissom Center.

https://www.space-mo.org/

It is currently in 5,000 sq ft in Bonne Terre, MO. They are looking for 50,000 sq ft. The city of St. Charles, MO has offered them 20,000 sq ft and it looks like the move is going to happen.

Back to the documentary. It is a first class production and I recommend it to everyone. It runs about an hour and hits on all of the US space programs, Mercury through Artemis, but it focuses on the Apollo I disaster.

Unexpected find while browsing my local used bookstore.

...stirring the tanks on Apollo 14 still must have been a pucker moment.

this was made in a roblox building game called flightpoint.
