"We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard." John F. Kennedy September 12th 1962.

The command module "Columbia" and its lunar module "Eagle" head off towards the moon.

Enjoy

Somebody help me find my jaw. Wow!

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

I love it, but I need to point out something about accuracy. By the time it was docked to the LM, it was much farther from Earth, so Earth would look much smaller.

Cool

Looks fantastic! Smiley

Where did you get the LM? Is that from Orbiter?

All of my Sci fi edits are from Orbiter, I think I've uninstalled and reinstalled that program more than any other. Grin
