I just had to post a reply to this. I must say I love it, it looks so
historical monumentish :)
I live only 15 minutes away from the Johnson Space center in Houston, and my
father worked extensively on the Appollo missions. He was head of the
department in charge of the life support systems ring near the top of the
Saturn V rocket. My father likes to mention that his fingerprints are on the
moon. So needless to say the Appolo moon landings and NASA in general are of
big importance to my family.
Now I'm no expert, but I gotta say you've really captured what I would think
the landing site would look like today. Not many people realize just how much
stuff the astronauts left behind up there.
Great stuff!
