I was raising my orbit and i didn't notice the moon.

Before i knew it i was going for the moon.

I knew something was up when my APA and PEA kept jumping around.

I told you not blowing it up... and now it's a potato-shaped asteroid...

Here's my Apollo mission to Picard crater (located in the Sea of Crises). I was inspired by the latest "Transformers" preview, although I did this a bit more realistically (meaning this part of the mission was not 21 minutes). The crash add-on can be downloaded here:

All I did was change the coordinates and used LandMFD for the AMSO LM.

STS-71 Historical Mission

I've been flying historical missions with the Fleet, updated to 2010P1 (using docking lights and payload bay lights on the nightside of the planet...). I've been working on STS-71, the first shuttle / Mir docking in 1995. I've had to update the default Mir, giving it attitude control and docking targets. Here is the approach to docking on June 29, 1995:

I was seeing if i could hit mercury by flying onto the sun again..........didnt work.

Suddenly Ariane became one of my favorite addons. Launched it at the cape to stop lag.

And also an Apollo 11 launch picture.

Christmas Eve, 1968: Apollo 8 is in orbit around the Moon with astronauts Frank Borman, Jim Lovell, and Bill Anders aboard. At about 75 hours into the mission, something amazing happened: Earthrise

The following is a transcript from the Apollo Flight Journal:

075:47:30 Borman or Anders (onboard): Oh, my God! Look at that picture over there! Here's the Earth coming up. Wow, is that pretty!

075:47:37 Anders or Borman (onboard): Hey, don't take that, it's not scheduled. (Chuckle.)

075:47:39 Borman (onboard): [Laughter] You got a color film, Jim?

075:47:46 Anders (onboard): Hand me that roll of color quick, will you...

075:47:48 Lovell (onboard): Oh man, that's great!​

Unknowingly, the surprised and ecstatic astronauts snapped what is now one of the most iconic images of the 20th century. I thought I'd just post this little tidbit of info and the screenshot here to show what's on my mind every year when Christmas Eve rolls around. Happy Holidays everyone! :thumbup:
