I may not be the biggest fan of #SpaceForce (in theory), but this is definitely the better call (HQ in Colorado), and I say this as my family worked on #Apollo+ and most are still around the Huntsville area.
🪷 28 July is Pythia day, honoring the Oracle of #Delphi which #Antinous saw in 128 AD. He probably looked similar to this #Apollo-#Helios figure by #FredericLeighton. Today is a good day to try scrying and light incense in memory of the women who were #Delphic priestesses. 🪷
Apart from the fact that this was done by Marshall Space Flight Center artist Grant Lathe, I don't have a lot of certain information about this picture.
But the general configuration of the craft says it's post-LOR decision and the conical LEM was already superseded by something much more resembling the Grumman lander not long after that. So sometime in 1962 seems probable.
I really dig the red-and-white racing livery on the CSM.
Happy Moon Landing Day and #InternationalMoonDay !!! The Apollo program and Moon exploration is a life-long obsession of mine. I’m so excited for our return on Artemis 2 and 3!
As my birthday present to you, I released a small Apollo update that lets you download all the new wallpapers in the set in all their sizes and variations, instead of having to do it one-by-one 😛
I also added an in-app email sign up to be notified of my Next Big Thing™! 😘
Today is the anniversary of the #Apollo11 Moon landing!
At Kennedy #Space Center’s Visitor Complex, it’s possible to visit the #Apollo / Saturn V Center, where a #SaturnV#rocket is on display, with its stages separated.
These are the 5 J-2 engines that powered the S-II stage that was the second stage on the Saturn V.
They burned liquid hydrogen (#LH2) and liquid oxygen (#LOX). This high-energy combination of propellants made it much easier for the United States to build a successful #Moon mission, whereas the Soviets were forced to stick with hypergolic fuels or kerosene, making lunar missions impractical.

@chrismessina hmmm I vaguely remember some other app that had extra icons for premium users but recently went out of business.. What’s next, Reddit Premium offering in-app pets? #apollo
Bonjour ☭🇺🇸
Le 17 juillet 1975, c'était la première coopération dans l'espace. Un vaisseau #Soyouz et un vaisseau #Apollo s'amarrent l'un à l'autre et à l'ouverture de l'écoutille, c'est la poignée de mains entre Tom Stafford et Alexei Leonov, à la verticale de Metz #espace#histoire
Congratulations 🎉 to Memmy for Lemmy on achieving the number 24 position in the top social network applications in the German App Store. This is quite remarkable, considering that Lemmy is still a niche platform....
My first post in the fediverse! Reddit's API changes shut down my favorite app, #Apollo, so now I'm here. I'm posting from "toot", an awesome cli app running in a terminal on #Debian 12 #GNOME 43. How cool is #Linux!
When you notice that there is a design callback to a beautiful app that is no longer there, thank you Apollo for everything and let us start a new adventure.
SoundCloud has just killed the Client ID of DaftCloud. Do they follow the model that Twitter and Reddit chose to adopt? It really saddens me, but I knew it would eventually happen. It's still sad to see it dying without any communication on their part.
For anyone mourning the loss of Apollo, I can't say enough about how great @wefwef feels as a lemmy alternative. Especially as a web application its very well done.
