So some time back, i got this shirt from my grandma, who went to the USA several times and on one of those trips, she got this shirt about apollo 11, and since she is 70 years old, and the landing only 57, there might be a chance it might be from the year the landing happened

My question is, whether this shirt could actually be a 1969 original, and if so, is it rare to have one of these?

The first Saturn I (SA-1) lifts off from Cape Canaveral, Florida. This early configuration, Saturn I Block I, 162 feet tall and weighing 460 tons, consisted of the eight H-1 engines S-I stage and the dummy second stage (S-IV stage).

I've always been fascinated by the Saturn V and the engineering behind the Apollo missions, so I decided to recreate the Apollo 11 rocket as a detailed cutaway.

It's 1:185 scale and 60cm tall, with one side showing the original exterior and the other exposing its internal tanks, engines, fuel lines, and structural framework.

You can check out more details about its internal details, print files and full breakdown HERE

I modeled it in Fusion 360 using historical engineering references, then printed it in 23 pieces.

Getting the tiny structures to print reliably took quite a bit of trial and error, but seeing the finished rocket standing in front of me made it all worth it!

Some details were reinforced or simplified for printing, but I tried to stay as faithful to the original engineering as possible.

Hope you fellow Apollo enthusiasts enjoy it! Which side do you prefer??

Both kerbal and orbiter are over 10 years old, has anything new come along recently?
