Sad date. March 27, 1968 the Planet lost its first man in space. Yuri #Gagarin and flight instructor Vladimir Seryogin while on a flight from Chkalovsky Air Base lost their lives when their MiG-15 crashed near the town of Kirzhach. Forever in our memories. contactlight.de

#OTD in 1969, EVA's were undertaken on Apollo 9 by Dave Scott & Rusty Schweickart. In this pin-sharp reprocessed image, Schweickart is floating around the LM window as he tests the PLSS for the first time. The next time the PLSS was used, was by Neil Armstrong on the Moon.

Searching for Ed Mitchell, searching for Cone crater. "[Let's] take a break, get the map, and see if we can find out exactly where we are." Recovered from overexposed film, and a sun-struck dusty lens, here is Mitchell #OTD in 1971, checking his map during EVA-2 on Apollo 14:

For 500 years people have been coming up with technology after technology to replace, alter or disrupt books and they have all failed because business geniuses are somehow incapable of understanding that people really like reading

Happy 95th Birthday to Apollo 11's Buzz Aldrin! Born: Jan 20, 1930 Obviously best known for walking on the Moon with Neil Armstrong during Apollo 11, but here he is, out in the void, during his earlier Gemini XII mission - Nov 12, 1966. We're blessed to still have him with us 🚀

Imagine looking out of your window and seeing the Moon, from 60 miles. #OTD in 1972, Apollo 17 entered lunar orbit. The crew of Cernan, Schmitt and Evans were the last humans to view the Moon up close.

The crew of Apollo 17 was about 28,000 miles away from Earth when they took the Blue Marble photo. It was the last time that astronauts, not robots, were on a lunar mission — since then, no people have gotten far enough away from Earth to take a photo like it. December 7, 1972 WWW.CONTACTLIGHT.DE

"It is in our nature to explore, to reach out into the unknown. The only true failure would be not to explore at all." Ernest Shackleton. The wonderful Discovery Point in Dundee. Celebrating bravery and exploration. From ice to space.

What does a bootprint on the Moon look like up close? Taken #OTD in 1969 on Apollo 12, this always gets lots of attention at #ApolloRemastered exhibitions. It's actually one of a stereoscopic pair. So here's both, remastered from the original film and animated into a 'wobble 3D'.

55 years ago today! Nov 19, 1969. Pete Conrad descends the ladder to become the 3rd human to set foot on the Moon. Alan Bean (seen reflected, through the hatch): "Let me get the old camera on you, babe!" This was one of the more difficult images to work on for #ApolloRemastered.
