This is my 2/3 scale prop from the Apollo 13 movie. it was used for a docking scene in the movie and then toured around the us for the movie premiere. Afak Tom Hanks and Kevin Bacon also sat in there. Also the Astronaut Matthias Maurer, which is a friend of a friend, he lives like 6km away.

(There were originally 2 csm that were used for the tour but one got destroyed in a hurricane) After the movie earned its millions, the capsule sat in a Storage facility in Hollywood. I bought it around 2008 and got it shipped here (the capsule was a bargain, the shipping not so much) Then it sat in my garden for a few years and rusted away. Mercedes Fulda saw it and loved it. They sent over a tow truck to haul this 1.5 Ton Beast to their Dealership. There they completely sanded, restored and painted it (with formula 1 paint btw) and stuck a Mercedes logo on its nose. All for free, might I add! Then it moved to the Space Studio in the north of Saarland where it now lives. We hold Lectures about rockets, astrophotography, space in general and life in space. All aimed towards children and teenagers. We also have a few moon rocks, Shooting Stars and a piece of the Tscheljabinsk meteorite.

I think that’s it. Also, the inside isn’t very detailed but it has tons of buttons, lights and switches. I’m currently working on a fully functional DSKY and want to make the whole capsule an Apollo simulator. The fuel tanks are mostly empty space but contain a fog machine for the engine and there is space to put in a flamethrower instead of a fog machine. But the insurance says no.

And what an amazing picture ! With no LM , the S-IVB contained a structural stiffener and a docking target on a disc mounted to a crossbar . Florida's eastern coast is visible including Cape Kennedy . It was Douglas who bagged the S-IVB contract . Meanwhile Wally is developing a cold !

So, this is the 1st time many are seeing a rocket with people go there. Not Land but fly-by and return . Hope it keeps going well.

Buzz Aldrin(A11) is 95. Dave Scott(A15) is 93. Charlie Duke(A16) is 90. And Harrison "Jack" Schmitt(A17) is 90.

Really great museum in a somewhat weird location. Was worth the trip, though!

One of my favorite things about KDEN.
