    A couple of years back, in a thread I can’t find, I shared a piece of Apollo Mission Flights art made by a guy called Paul, who does beautiful data visualisation work under the name Made From Data.

    For the 50th Anniversary of Apollo 11, he’s made a small run LE of 50 pieces, which highlight Apollo 11’s flight in gold.

    I’ve ordered one for myself, and thought my fellow nerds might want to get their hands on a beautiful, and fantastically good value Apollo 11 50th LE.

    And with only 50 produced, this is a legit LE (pay attention Omega...).

    Cheers!

    Those are absolutely brilliant.

    Currently trying to argue we need one for the kitchen/diner

    Got one of the very first one of these.

    Great piece

    Would be all over this one if I didn’t already have the original.

    Informative, artistic and visually intriguing... all rolled into one. Wonderful work by your friend Chris.

    Paul does amazing data visualisation work Jonathan - he's got a work coming up on the Operation Black Buck Falklands Missions (Vulcan Bomber runs), which is fascinating!

    Arghhh... all Apollo series sold out!... this amazing website is on my favorites now... until the next datawork, why not about the meeting Apollo Soyuz?... (2 spaceships launches, revolutions around earth, synchronisation, rendez-vous... I think there is matter to make a nice data display here...). Thanks for the thread.
