I remember another article which stated the refurbished consoles would NOT function but have static displays and read outs…it is a shame…the cathode ray TV monitors have been replaced as well. The current read outs are for Apollo 11. Not sure but, I assume they could change that.
I am not sure I entirely agree with the removal of ALL coffee stains and nicotine…it is like taking off a layer of history. Still, I would love to see it. Might have to plan a trip.

I don’t! Those are the tiny things that would make you go, ‘ah, I remember how that stain or cigarette burn got there’. Such tiny things would certainly matter to me, if I were to visit and had actually been there at the time. Then again, how much longer could that possibly be. Maybe just have kept the few that do have a story archived?
Same here … one day … some day …

My daughter and I are still seeing the sights. Here is a ‘tiny’ bit of moon history from Arkansas…
You should be able to enlarge the pics and read them.

Just imagine… One day we may be able to do that. One day.
One day we never had No Mans Sky.
One day calculators were mere beans.

Came across this video that shows the Apollo 50: Go for the Moon projection show on the Washington Monument. Must have been quite awesome.
Also a behind the scenes with Adam Savage

Not able to watch it all right now. I would assume it was close to scale. The Saturn V was a beast of a rocket. If I could travel back in time, it would be to that moment when observers were only a mile from the launch pad and ceiling fell in on Walter Cronkites head…would be awesome indeed.
