The model was scaled to the Monogram First Lunar Landing model kit, because I happened to have one of the astronaut figures from that laying around. It would have been VERY small, like mini-van sized probably. I was comparing it to narrow-gauge logging and agricultural railroads here on Earth, where things are scaled down. I designed a locomotive and passenger cars too, on paper, but never built them.

Assembled Monogram plastic model kit (originally from the 1960s, frequently reissued, maybe still today, not sure) with a Apollo lunar module on a diorama base, complete with craters and footprints for the two astronauts. Also included were reproductions of the instrument packages left on the Moon. The retroreflector on the middle-right is still useable today to bounce lasers that astronomer's telescopes can detect, and is used to accurately measure the Moon's distance. I used one of the astronauts to scale my boxcar model. (Photo borrowed via MonstersInMotion.com)

One of only three Saturn V rockets left in the world, this one is on display in the Saturn V Hall of the Davidson Center for Space Exploration in Huntsville, AL.

And it is massive.

Only recently displaced as the most powerful machine ever built.

And still, I hear the MTV "bump, da dump, da dump da dump, bump, da dump, da dada dada dump, da dump, et cetera" every time I see the Saturn V.

Looking down along the Saturn V at the Apollo/Saturn V center at Kennedy Space Center.

A photograph looking down along the Saturn V on display at Kennedy Space Center, from the top of the rocket. Apollo mission logos hang from the ceiling to its left, with the Apollo 15 logo frontmost in the frame and working backwards. The "Lunar Theater" and a capsule are visible on the right, and multiple people visiting the exhibit walk underneath the rocket.

The #spacesuit that Alan #Shepard wore on the #Moon during the #Apollo 14 mission.
#AlanShepard was the first American in space and the second person in space after Yuri Gagarin.
He was grounded after he was found to have developed an inner-ear disease. A surgery fixed the problem and he returned to flight to command #Apollo14.

An indoor, dimly lit photograph of a space suit in a glass museum display. The helmet’s front is clear, with a black cap reaching from the back. The ring connecting the neck to the collar is bright red. The suit is white. The US flag is on the left sleeve, and both sleeves have a pocket and a red stripe, ending in red and blue rings where the gloves would attach. The center of the suit has the blue NASA emblem on the left, the name SHEPARD on a patch in the center, a circular emblem for the Apollo 14 mission. There are six connectors mounted on the front of the suit, which are circular and metallic blue or red. Straps help hold the suit tight. The legs have pouches and red stripes. The was behind is neutral gray.
