First Lunar Landing - 55 Years ago


Recommended Posts

I built this Monogram kit five years ago to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing and would like to share it again today .

You can clearly see in this photo the interior lighting added to the module .

Indeed, very well done. I look at that model and am in awe of the courage and faith of those two astronauts. It had to be in the back of their minds, "Will this contraption get us off here and back to the main module?" Thanks for posting it.

Thanks Rick !  Back then all of the astronauts were military officers and test pilots , they never thought about it  . . . it was their job .
