In the driver’s seat. Astronaut Michael Collins undergoes simulation training in preparation for Apollo 11. Mr. Collins flew twice in space with his first flight being on Gemini 10 with John Young. On that flight, he became the 4th human to perform a spacewalk. During Apollo 11, Collins orbited 30x in the Command Module to become the 2nd to orbit to the moon solo, after Young did so during Apollo 10. A historic humble hero.

Caption: Mighty Saturn awaited them on launching pad.

Booklet Description: SATURN V AWAITS COUNTDOWN In the pre-dawn darkness on Cape Kennedy, floodlights bathed Launch Complex 39. The tall service tower was being brought by a huge crawler to wrap its multiple arms around Saturn and complete the fueling process. Soon ice would coat the exterior of Saturn's lower stages as the tanks filled with the incredibly cold liquid oxygen and hydrogen. The top arm of the tower contained the "white room," on a level with the Command Module. It was kept antiseptically clean, for the astronauts would enter the module from this room and must bring no disease germs on board with them.

Artemis is a great name for a lunar exploration program, so why the hell did we call the first one Apollo? Artemis is the goddess of the Moon! Apollo is her twin, sure, but he's the exact opposite, the god of the sun! It would be like naming a Mars mission Aphrodite instead of Ares because Aphrodite is Ares' lover, even though Aphrodite is clearly a name for a Venus program.

Mercury made sense because it was the first American spaceflight program and Mercury is the first planet from the sun, but it was also symbolic for carrying humanity's message to space.

Gemini made sense because the spacecraft was designed for two people, and Gemini represents the twins Castor and Pollux.

Apollo is just back-assward. It doesn't make sense.

It was also unarguably inspirational, propelling thousands of kids into science and engineering.

Started as a random crossover between Proseka and Greek mythology/PJO. Then it went out of control. And then halfway I got lazy.

My personal favourite is Shiho's design. And Nene's, but does it really count as my design if half of it is literally from the game?

Chairs fit for an astronaut. The crew of Apollo 16 (John Young, Charlie Duke & Ken Mattingly) have their suits checked out in preparation for their April 1972 flight. The 11-day, 2 hour mission was the rookie flight for Duke & Mattingly & was Young’s incredible 4th flight into space.

Caption: Rescue helicopter dropped a raft and sling.

Booklet Description: RECOVERY FROM OCEAN The helicopter was above them, dropping down a rubber raft and letting down a sling. The men opened the escape hatch, took off their helmets and joyfully breathed air for the first time in a week. Bringing their valuable moon samples and cameras, they scrambled into the raft, then one by one into the sling to be hauled up into the helicopter. The first spacemen to visit the moon had come home.
