Sims 2: Apollo A7L Suits

Here's something that probably only I would want, but I'm uploading it anyway... a recolor of the basegame astronaut outfit to match all the NASA Apollo-era A7L and A7LB spacesuits. Since this is just a recolor, the ports aren't in the correct locations and there's no backpack, but whatever.

So here's what you get: 48 suits, 3 for each Apollo and Skylab mission, with insignia and crewmember names (in Latin alphabet because there was no way I was doing both English and Simlish). They're flagged as everyday and outerwear, for both male and female adults. Most of them are tooltipped though I think the A7LBs aren't for some reason.

Anyway: the preview shows, from left to right, a non-EVA A7LB, an A7L, and a commander's A7LB. The A7LBs for non-EVA positions (Skylab, ASTP, and the Apollo 15-17 CMPs) look identical to the A7Ls. As for the other A7LBs, the commanders have the red stripe on the arm and the LMP doesn't, otherwise they're identical to the one on the right save for insignia and names. The files are labeled for each mission and position as opposed to names, although the Apollo 1 suits use the convention of CMD/CMP/LMP since I'm not sure what they would've been had it flown.

I don't think these have any morphs, since they're the regular EA mesh, but you wouldn't be able to tell if a sim was fat anyway due to the bulk of the suit, and if you're pregnant you probably shouldn't be going on a trip to the moon anyway, at least in Apollo-era hardware.

Okay, now that you've read my rambling, here's the download:

Happy 22nd* Birthday, Jack Lousma!

*88th

So far the only astronaut to be born on Leap Day, Jack R. Lousma was born in Grand Rapids, Michigan on February 29, 1936. He was selected as an astronaut at age 7 (30), worked in Mission Control during the Apollo 13 crisis at age 8 (34), made his first spaceflight to the Skylab space station at age 9 (37), and piloted the space shuttle at age 11 (47)!

In 2016, aged 20 (80), he shared 29 facts about his life and career with the Detroit Free Press.

"It’s quite a good deal," Lousma told the Free Press, "Usually — three out of four years — I celebrate on March 1. It goes by in a split second at midnight."

50 years ago... Two automatic chronographs return from space ! February 8, 1974 as the third and final manned Skylab space station mission  SL-4 safely returned to Earth with a splash-down in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of California, awaited by the US Navy amphibious assault ship USS New Orleans. Each of the Skylab-4 astronauts used an extra personal wristwatch during NASA Skylab training; Gerald Carr: Movado Datachron HS-360 automatic chronograph William Pogue: Seiko 6139-6005 automatic chronograph Edward Gibson: Omega Speedmaster Mark II chronograph We know for sure both Gerald Carr and William Pogue wore their automatic chronograph onboard the Skylab space station (Orbital Work Shop OWS) during 84 days 1 hour 15 minutes between November 1973 and February 1974. Onboard SL-4 space station photos don't reveal if Ed Gibson wore his personal Omega Speedmaster Mk II chronograph in space. It can be seen on his wrist upon return to Houston Texas in the February 9, 1974 photo. (Photo: NASA)

The new Serena Williams Building by Skylab Architecture @skylabarchitecture at Nike World Headquarters in #Beaverton, Oregon Read more: Link in bio! Photography: Jeremy Bittermann, Stephen Miller, J.P. Paull, PLACE Skylab Architecture: The Serena Williams Building—a workplace for 2,750 occupants at more than 1 million square feet—is the largest structure at Nike World Headquarters. We led the design of all aspects of this complex building and program, including core and shell, interior design and furniture selection, and branding integration. Beyond its sheer scale, the project presented three principle challenges: - How to create a new prototype for design-focused workspace that fosters chemistry and collaboration on an enormous scale. - How to leverage regenerative principles to design for both the site and the building occupants through a partnership with nature. - How to capture the ethos of sport, Nike’s heritage, and the spirit of Serena Williams, the ultimate warrior-muse and the building’s namesake… #usa #oregon #архитектура www.amazingarchitecture.com ✔ A collection of the best contemporary architecture to inspire you. #design #architecture #amazingarchitecture #architect #arquitectura #luxury #realestate #life #cute #architettura #interiordesign #photooftheday #love #travel #construction #furniture #instagood #fashion #beautiful #archilovers #home #house ‎#amazing #picoftheday #architecturephotography ‎#معماری (at Beaverton, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiY737TMSvS/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Monday 4 July 2022

Today saw us posing for photos in the pouch of a giant kangaroo before tucking into an egg and bacon breakfast of truckie proportions. We hadn’t seen that coming. No sign of a breakfast menu at dinner the night before so we thought our options were limited to a slice of carrot cake or an Apricot Danish.

No sooner had we got started than we took a short detour east to the ruins of the old Eucla Telegraph Station. Along with the original township, the Telegraph Station became submerged by dunes destabilised by a rabbit plague in the 1890s. Judging by the many different types of dainty succulents making their cautious way across the surface maybe the dunes will recover yet. The brief but panoramic sliver of coast on the descent was magic.

The Madura Pass Roadhouse where we refuelled was originally settled as an area to breed horses for the Indian Army in 1876. The bloke behind the bar told us he was closed, just for effect it turned out as he went on to say that to everyone who poked their heads in the door expectantly. I suppose he thought that if that joke worked once it would work a thousand times. We stood around outside afterwards enjoying the sunshine and pondering the time, given that we had a few time zones going. The iPhones amongst us were showing local time, the Samsungs were telling SA time and the Fitbit thought it was still in Melbourne.

Caiguna where we stopped for lunch was the scene of a crushing culinary disappointment because the ham and salad sandwich I ordered and the chicken and salad sandwich Al ordered arrived toasted, despite assurances to the contrary. Even the crispy salty wedges dipped in sour cream and sweet chilli sauce couldn’t compensate for the fresh ingredients we had been looking forward to. The motor cyclists warming their cold hands at the fire took note I hope lest they experience a similar blow.

About 200kms and 90 miles of straight road later, we stopped for a coffee at the Balladonia Roadhouse. The original, built to accommodate travellers attending the 1962 Empire Games in Perth, remained in service until 1974 when it was replaced by the Prendiville family. One of Balladonia’s claims to fame was that in July 1979, the American satellite, Skylab, plummeted to earth, scattering a trail of space debris over it. In the 1890s it was the scene of a murderous incident in which Afghan camel drivers were shot by Europeans for washing their feet in a rock pool as part of a religious ritual because they were seen to be defiling a precious water source.

Another two hours down the road and Norseman, our final stop for the day, came into view. The local Norseman Hotel provided us with a great fire around which to sit and chat to the FIFO workers at the gold mine. A hard life we concluded (3 weeks on, 1 week off), even if well paid, but they weren’t complaining. Just having a quiet companionable drink knowing that they would be waking up at 4.30am for a 6am start and an 11 hour day. It was takeaway pizzas in front of the TV after that while we watched the tennis.

Tincurrin today though the back roads.

January 23... remembering NASA astronaut William Pogue In 1966, USAF test pilot William “Bill” Pogue was selected as NASA astronaut in group 5 and started training for the Apollo lunar & Skylab space station missions. Between November 1973 and February 1974, Pogue was pilot for NASA’s Skylab 4 space station mission which lasted 84 days 1 hour. During that mission, both SL-4 commander Gerald Carr (Movado Datachron HS360 automatic) and William Pogue (Seiko 6139-6005 automatic) were the first astronauts to wear an automatic chronograph in space! However, as in this 1966 portrait, there’re several photos showing William Pogue clearly wearing his gold Oyster Perpetual Date pilot watch, even during desert survival training. (Photo: NASA)
