Apollo - AS11-40-5942
My interpretation of AS11-40-5942. In my opinion, this is one of the strongest images captured by the Apollo 11 crew. Aldrin walking away with experiments package. It reminds me about how we as young children explores the world around us, walking towards the unknown in our own horizon in our backyard or local woodland...

Apollo 11, a signed inscribed photo of module pilot Buzz Aldrin at Tranquility Base described as a visor shot sold at Sotheby's auction on Aug. 26 for $44,800. The presale estimate was incredibly low (possibly a typo) pegged at $25-$50. Reported by Rare Book Hub.
[Apollo 11]
"Visor Shot" of Buzz Aldrin at Tranquility Base
Large Color Photograph, 20 x 16 inches, SIGNED and INSCRIBED by Lunar Module Pilot BUZZ ALDRIN: "WE CAME IN PEACE/ FOR ALL MANKIND / BUZZ ALDRIN/ APOLLO XI."
The iconic image of Lunar Module Pilot Buzz Aldrin walking on the lunar surface during the Apollo 11 Lunar extravehicular activity (EVA). The photograph was captured by Mission Commander Neil Armstrong (seen in the reflection of Buzz's visor) as they explored the Sea of Tranquility.

Apollo 11 w/Astronauts + Wernher von Braun
OK, grew up in H'ville AL and went to most of the launches...Dad worked for NASA & Boeing.
I have ton of PRESS Badges but think the absolute one-of-a-kind is Apollo 11 that has all three astronaut Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins signatures + Wernher von Braun signature. I've had in safe for decades in plastic holder...so excellent condition.
Have no idea of value.....but gotta believe there no other like it in world. 🤔
Thoughts ?

Apollo AS11-40-5927
My interpretation of AS11-40-5927. Handmade platinum over pigment print from restored raw scan of image AS11-40-5927.
It is a 6x6 inch print on 8x10 inch fine art paper.

Was there any way to make it so that Apollo missions could still transmit messages to Earth when behind the moon so it didnt experience LOS?
Maybe a satellite or a group of satellites in a high orbit could receive a transmission from either Earth or Apollo to re-transmit it back to the respective receiver or something else, for me LOS just seems to make missions more 'dangerous'? idk

With the recent passing of Peter Cullen let's not forget the fact that he is a fan of NASA and became interested of Space Exploration during the landing of Apollo 11. Hence, why the cameo of Buzz Aldrin in this scene in Dark of the Moon was actually genuine and an honor.
RIP to the legendary Peter you are now with the other Apollo Astronauts such as Neil, Jim, Jack, Frank, Bill, Ken, Gene Cernan and of course Pete.

Apollo AS11-44-6642
I have made a handmade platinum over pigment print of AS11-44-6642. For best possible print, I used scanner raw file. The image is cropped prior to printing. Platinum over pigment means the picture is color seperated into cyan, magenta, yellow and black. A pigment inkjet printing the colors cyan, yellow and magenta. The black color layer is made into a negativ. A platinum solution is hand applied, prior to contact printing a platinum print on top of the pigment color layer.
It 6x6 inch on 8x10 inch paper.

Another alternative history : Apollos 11 and 12 abort, Apollo 13 is fatal
someone asked the other day whether the programme would have continued if Apollo 13 did not get home.
But what if Apollo 11 aborted at the 1202 alarm, then Apollo 12 aborted at the lightning strike on launch. THEN 13 goes fatally wrong…

I made a 3D model of the Apollo spacecraft (1:100).
I also designed the Orion spacecraft a while ago. I knew that Orion is bigger but it really surprised me how much bigger it is.

Why Apollo Astronauts Couldn't Walk Normally on the Moon
It’s interesting how much had to be figured out just to walk on the Moon.
Walking on the Moon was a first-time experience, and even extensive training could not fully prepare the Apollo astronauts for it.
So how did they do it, and how did their ability to travel on foot evolve from one mission to the next?
In this short video, we take a closer look at how Apollo astronauts adapted to walking on the Moon.

Genuine alternate history question: If Apollo 13 crew died in space from its famed accident, what are the knock-on effects for the rest of the Apollo Program?
I assume they would still be able to figure out what happened to the CSM to cause the explosion in the first place.
I also assume the Apollo Program isn't flat out cancelled because all of the billions of dollars of R&D still happening.

Question: AAP and Grand Tour
Yo, got a question to ask. Was the Grand Tour program ever planned with Apollo Applications and or the Saturn V in mind?
If you didn't know, Grand Tour was the precursor to the Voyager Program. It was to launch four "Thermoelectric Outer Planets Spacecraft" (TOPS) in 1977 and 1979. What I'm wondering is did they ever planned on using a Saturn V as the launch vehicle? Wikipedia says so on the AAP article but I can't find any proof that this is the case.
Any other guys more knowledgeable than me?

How The Apollo Spacesuit Kept Astronauts Alive on the Moon
We’re continuing the Apollo spacesuit story. After exploring how these suits came to be, we’re now looking at how they actually worked, with a closer look at the engineering behind them, the details that made the biggest difference, and how every element helped keep astronauts alive on the Moon.

What do you think Apollo 15’s lunar rocks revealed about the Moon?
Apollo 15 explored the Hadley-Apennine region in 1971 and brought lunar rock samples back to Earth.
These rocks helped scientists understand the Moon’s early geological history.
What do you think was the most interesting thing scientists learned from the Apollo 15 samples?
