Huston, Tranquility Base Here. The Lego has landed. 😎
An awesome kit, slightly let down by the goofy helmet / backpack combo they’ve put on the minifigs. I also need to get my paint brush out and paint a speedy on Buzz’s arm. 😀
I thought this would be an appropriate place to share the new NASA Goddard LRO recreation of Apollo 13's trip around the Moon as observed by the astronauts to celebrate the upcoming 50th anniversary.
While most here are familiar with the famous 14 second burn the real return to safety for Apollo 13 starts at 8:42:43 UTC on April 14, 1970, with the burn to initiate the free-return trajectory.
It’s been a while since I posted anything in here… but I’ve completely retooled my DSKY. A lot of work went into modifying the 3D models and the code to run the screen standing in for the electroluminescent display, keyboard and warning lamps. Oh and it runs the actual code used on Apollo 11 via virtual AGC. 🤓
