GETTING TO THE MOON

On the Apollo missions, the lunar module was in a compartment stage beneath the command module engines. Once the ship had reached a certain distance, that stage would separate and free the lunar module.

The command module would then dock with the lunar module. The spacecraft then continued on to lunar orbit in thesis configuration.

Upon arrival at the separation point, two astronauts would crawl through a pressurized tunnel from the command module into the lunar module. The third astronaut remained in the command module, orbiting above the moon.

The lunar module then separated and proceeded to its landing point. The lunar module (or LEM - Lunar Excursion Module, as it was referred to at this point) became home for the two astronauts during their brief stay on the moon.

-Apollo 11 stayed 21 hrs 36 mins

-Apollo 12 stayed 31.6 hrs

-Apollo 13 never landed

-Apollo 14 stayed 33 hrs

-Apollo 15 stayed 67 hrs

-Apollo 16 stayed 71 hrs

-Apollo 17 (the last men on the Moon) stayed just seconds shy of 75 hrs.

For departure the top half of the LEM, or ascent stage, would fire its rockets and ascend into lunar orbit to rendezvous with the command module. The descent stage was left behind on the lunar surface.

Once the ascent stage had docked with the command module the astronauts would transfer back. The ascent stage was then jettisoned, and all three astronauts rode the command module back to Earth to splashdown somewhere in the ocean.

Just a reminder of what REAL astronauts experienced back in the day. Meanwhile, in present times, everyone seems to be going ga-ga over a bunch of celebrities who central high and experienced a brief moment of zero-G.

Apollo 9 astronauts Rusty Schweickart, Dave Scott and Jim McDivitt in front of their Saturn V Rocket. Their mission (March 3–13, 1969) was the third human spaceflight in the Apollo program. Unlike the missions before and after them, they did not leave Earth orbit and go to the moon. But it was important because it was the first test of a complete Apollo spacecraft (command and service module, lunar module and the Saturn rocket). During the mission, the crew tested the LEM and successfully performed a rendezvous and docking with the command module. The results of this mission proved the lunar module and landing craft were ready to go to the Moon on Apollo 10.

The excellent Tom Hanks/Ron Howard miniseries From the Earth to the Moon has a great episode that showcases Apollo 9 called "Spider" - the title comes from the nickname the astronauts gave the lunar lander. The show of course features the mission but does a superb job showing the numerous challenges the Grumman engineers had in designing, building and testing the lander.

Jinyiwei AU 2（The EUG)

villain

The pattern on Zurg and Warp is "Taotie", which symbolizes insatiable greed.

NOS has the same operating principle as the original robots such as XR and XL, but NOS is a product of an out-of-control curse, and Zurg can no longer control it.

And because of the curse on him, he can also cause harm to humans

And I originally planned to design evilyear with "Qiongqi" to symbolize its cunning and treachery, but I'm exhausted💔💔

These designs are very tiring to draw, but I'm happy!

Also, this is the art of my last Jinyiwei AU

INFECTION AU - False Demodragon Disease Survivors Infected Cured Immune Unknown Part 2

Masterpost

Alopex came across Leatherhead as he was attempting to search for the turtles. They have since partnered together.

Slash was infected when Mutanimals' lair was infiltrated by a Stage 3 Raphael. He soon attacked. Slash is currently at Stage 2.

Leatherhead was the only Mutanimal to escape when Raphael attacked. He is trying to find the other survivors. At least he has Alopex.

Dr Rockwell was infected when Mutanimals' lair was infiltrated by a Stage 3 Raphael. He soon attacked. Rockwell is currently at Stage 1 and caring for his teammates the best he can.

Mondo Gecko was infected when Mutanimals' lair was infiltrated by a Stage 3 Raphael. He soon attacked. Mondo is currently at Stage 1. He's scared more than anything.

Mona Lisa and Sal Commander just landed on Earth. As aliens, they are immune. Mona is searching for Raphael while Sal is trying to protect her.

Kirby O'Neil should've evacuated. He just doesn't want to leave April alone. He can't be separated from her again. He does what he can in the lab but spends most of his time with his daughter.

Renet Tilley is powerless. She knew this timeline was always doomed, but it's still heart-breaking to watch. She wishes she could so more.

Lord Oriri Solar Knight and Lady Cadere Luna Knight couldn't care less. Their duty is to take care of the Overworld. Why would they care about this timeline of Earth? No matter how much Comet (OC) begs, they won't do anything.

Ursa Major (OC) searches for their lover. Why won't this fever go away? Why was the city so quiet? Why did Slash attack them? They are nothing but a mess of confusion. They are at Stage 1.

Diamonte Vizioso (OC) is in prison with the rest of his father's gang. He is currently unaware of the infection.

Envy (OC) has been watching for months. She only entered the survivor's hideout recently. For once in her life she has to remain loyal to others.

Comet (@solofanatic64's OC) has been travelling space for the past year. All contact with her from Earth is severed. Or so they thought. Yasmin (OC) only had two close friends, Xever and Comet. One night she called out for her space friend, wishing she was here. And then she arrived. Of course, she was unaware of the infection. Comet is immune due to being a deity of sorts. Not that it helped lessen her guilt. Perhaps if she got there sooner, she could've helped more.

Comet's wishing powers allow her to give mutants immunity to the infection and even cure it. As long as the victim is not at Stage 5 or near it. Doing this takes a great deal of energy out of her, which was learnt when she gave Zeck partial immunity (meaning he could still catch the virus but it wouldn't pass Stage 1). She spends most of her time begging for Lord Oriri and Lady Cadere's help.

Kitsune (@dnpanimationstudioclone’s oc) is with Karai and Shini. She manipulated them into being distrusting of everyone else, but helped to cure Karai. All that matters to her is her own survival.

...

It's not done?

Hamato Raphael has reached Stage 5.

April O'Neil is infected and at Stage 1 after Xever lashed out at her. No one knows. Not even herself. This lack of awareness is due to Xever being believed to be cured. The virus mutates after she catches it. Humans are no longer immune.

Xever Montes was only temporarily cured. He remains at Stage 3 for now. His sanity is (sort of) intact, but dwindles every day. He has unknowingly infected April with the virus.

Hamato Michelangelo hopefully remains uninfected.

Descent to Fra Mauro by NASA on The Commons Via Flickr: This North American Rockwell artist's concept depicts the Apollo 13 Lunar Module (LM) descending to the Fra Mauro landing site as the Command and Service Module (CSM) remains in lunar orbit. Astronaut Thomas K. Mattingly II, the command module pilot, was to photograph the LM's descent from the CSM. For what was to be NASA's third lunar landing mission, astronauts James A. Lovell Jr., commander, and Fred W. Haise Jr., lunar module pilot, were to descend in the LM to explore the Moon. Mattingly was bumped from the crew three days before launch after being exposed to German measles, with backup command module pilot John "Jack" Swigert taking his place. Apollo 13 launched on April 11, 1970, with little fanfare. But two days into the mission, an oxygen tank onboard exploded, transforming Apollo 13 into a tense rescue mission that hinged on the ingenuity and grit of the crew, mission control, and NASA engineers.

Sorry for not giving project updates in awhile, life has been a bit unhinged.

Here's some stuff I made:

I crocheted a progress flag from embroidery floss and markered/painted a drawing figure for a Pride event at work.

I'm not crazy about how it turned out. I was making up the flag as I went, and the markers smeared when I tried to seal them with modge podge. I would do this whole project differently if I did it again.

I also crocheted some pot holders for the break room. I was tired of burning my hands on dishes from the microwave.

Blue and yellow are the company colors, so this yarn was perfect. First attempt at pot holders, and embroidering writing onto crochet. I'm satisfied with it as a first attempt.

I also lost my tcg deck box pattern (that I had created and wrote down), so I tried to recreate it from memory. I themed it for my June Spider Tribal Magic: the Gathering deck.

It needs to be a little taller so that I can fit a hard collector's sleeve in there for the feature card, but not a bad prototype. I forgot to take a picture of the inside. There's a slot for the Commander window that can also hold tokens or a small sideboard. I'm currently working on a slightly taller prototype for my spouse's Jeskai Storm deck, so keep an eye out for that.

Finally, I have also designed a sliding pencil box design. This one is for my sister for Christmas. It's so she has a case for her Cricut picks and such.

I had to resize the top a bit to get a good fit, but I am very happy with how this came out. Another self made pattern for the books!

I have many other projects upcoming, including the Minecraft Nesting Dolls (the OVERWORLD theme won the poll), but my life is experiencing a bit of upheaval currently, so I'm not sure when my next update will be.

Until next time, happy crafting!
