A sizable Saturn V model stood in the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad Museum, tucked away in a section dedicated to military and flight.Great place for train enthusiasts certainly, and quite a bit of material from other topics in history.  |

That appears to be the pre-painted Dragon 1/72 model. |

"There's my bug!" Or, at least that's what I say whenever I eat with my daughter and son-in-law (an engineer at Marshall) at the great little Blue Plate Cafe in Huntsville, AL. The diner sits just across the street from the tire store that has the early concept LEM as part of its sign. I try to get a seat at the window, so I can gaze longingly at it, and drop hints to my kids about the best potential Christmas present a dad could get. Thanks for posting. |

Is that tire store LEM concept prototype an actual engineering model, or was it merely a copy built specifically for advertising?Edit: I now see that the LEM is indeed docked to a tire at its upper port. |

On Tuesday (Nov. 10), aerospace companies gave UAE Space Agency chairman Khalifa Mohammed Thani al-Rumaithi a small U.S. flag that traveled to the moon on NASA's Apollo 14 mission, signed by astronaut Edgar Mitchell, the Associated Press reports. Khalifa Mohammed Al Rumaithi, Chairman of the UAE Space Agency, center, receives a United States of America flag and other memorabilia from the 1971 Apollo 14 lunar mission from Kallman Worldwide during the third day of the Dubai Airshow in the United Arab Emirates.  |

I read online that the final episode of "Family Ties" aired on May 14, 1989, so I watched Part 1 of "Alex Doesn't Live Here Anymore" yesterday. Toward the end, there are several shots of the STS-8 liftoff, a patch, and what looks to be autographs. |

From the Peach Tree Inn, my favorite little old-school travelers hotel in Fredericksburg, Texas. Col./Dr. Morgan greets morning visitors to the lobby's continental breakfast bar and coffee station.  |
