#July1969

[frogshunnedshadows]

Collage of my NASA Apollo technician costume references & in-progress shots, and final. Put this together last year for the 50th anniversary. I used a white jumpsuit / coveralls I had (left over from a previous costume).

Managed to get a similar but not exact headset & converted it as best I could. Washed it (it reeked of cigarette smoke), took it apart, washed it, repainted it, reassembled it. Made some labels for it in Adobe Illustrator.  Bought a white surgical scrubs cap and added a vintage NASA patch (from eBay). Used inkjet printer fabric to make my own Apollo ‘mission patch’ & NASA chest patch. Scavenged a big NASA back patch from a cheapie drawstring backpack (not shown). Recreated the area permit & employee ID using reference photos & images of actual IDs. Bought some period ID tag clips from eBay (not necessary, but I’m proud of that attention to detail). Got a short sleeved white dress shirt & a vintage tie. Took a lot of work & research, and I’m very pleased with this costume.

Original Moon landing newspaper from July 21, 1969. My parents bought this for me and I have kept it all these years, a little fragile now. Am going to try to preserve it in archival covers. #stlouispostdispatch #moon #neilarmstrong #july1969 #news #buzzaldrin

i made this for Tim O MOON dson birthday. Made with Ecoline inks, white tempera, watercolors and silver ink. He was born on July 1969 and 9 days before there was one of the biggest moment for human history: the landing on the Moon.

It was a great month for Satellites and Stars.

His body was found at the bottom of the pool by his Swedish girlfriend Anna Wohlin. The coroner’s report stated “Death by misadventure”, and noted his liver and heart were heavily enlarged by drug and alcohol abuse. Jones was one of the founding members of The Rolling…

Astronaut Buzz Aldrin has waded into the flag flap surrounding “First Man,” Damien Chazelle’s new drama about the moon landing.

The Neil Armstrong biopic, starring Ryan Gosling as the first man to walk on the moon during the Apollo 11 mission, was unveiled last week at Venice Film Festival to stellar reviews. But conservative commentators slammed the filmmaker’s decision to skip a shot of Armstrong planting the American flag. (Critics who’ve seen the film say the flag is shown flying in it.)

Aldrin, the second person to step out on the moon, took his jab Sunday on Twitter. “#proudtobeanamerican,” he tweeted, along with images of the flag planting.

Gosling got the conversation going at a news conference in Venice, where he told journalists that Armstrong was “extremely humble” and “didn’t consider himself a hero,” saying the milestones of the mission “transcend countries and borders.”

Unsurprisingly, uproar ensued on Twitter, with Florida Senator Marco Rubio calling the movie “total lunacy” and “a disservice.”

@marcorubio

This is total lunacy. And a disservice at a time when our people need reminders of what we can achieve when we work together. The American people paid for that mission,on rockets built by Americans,with American technology & carrying American astronauts. It wasn’t a UN mission.

Neil Armstrong movie ‘First Man’ omits the American flag being planted on the moon, and star Ryan Gosling defended the decision: ‘I don’t think that Neil viewed himself as an American hero’ https://read.bi/2C0Xfuv

Departing Fox News correspondent Adam Housley expressed disbelief at the omission.

Did the movie ‘First Man’ really omit the American Flag being planted on the moon? Just a reminder to whoever made that decision…President Kennedy challenged America to beat the communists…oh and we did. Just wish I was alive to experience it.

Weekly Standard editor at large Bill Kristol called it a “foolish and pernicious falsification of history.”

@BillKristol

Maybe Universal Pictures (@UniversalPics) should hear from Americans about this foolish and pernicious falsification of history? I imagine it’s not too late to add a scene to the movie. Otherwise, we can all stay home and re-watch Apollo 13 on TV. https://www.businessinsider.com/neil-armstrong-movie-first-man-omits-american-flag-on-moon-gosling-defends-2018-8?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=topbar&utm_term=desktop …

Chazelle pointed to the film as Armstrong’s story. “To address the question of whether this was a political statement, the answer is no,” he told The Associated Press. “My goal with this movie was to share with audiences the unseen, unknown aspects of America’s mission to the moon – particularly Neil Armstrong’s personal saga and what he may have been thinking and feeling during those famous few hours.”

Armstrong died in 2012. His sons, Rick Armstrong and Mark Armstrong, took issue with the characterization of the film as anti-American, issuing a joint statement on Friday with author James R. Hansen, who wrote the First Man book the movie is based on.
