Yeah me too. It was so beautiful I stopped taking pictures (dumb) just to drink it all in. They have it apart at all of the stages too. That is an actual unused Saturn V, not a model...

Of course there is a plethora of info on Apollo already. Much more than Pioneer so Chris will have very little searching to do.

I think you have done just the opposite of what you expected from your rant. Who elected you project manager? :x

I have been on board sense late last year. This is a cool program and cool community with one exception YOU. In that short time I have written and posted a script and contributed a model of the CEV for future addons. h Don't know how long you have been around but that is not the point. I don't usally get into flame wars so I am going to count to ten and stop. Just take the advice that has been posted about your responsablity.

Don't know anything

Chris,

I don't know if these will come in handy for Apollo when you need them. I took these when I was at Kennedy Space Center in March. I have higher resolution if you need them. There aren't many, but every little bit counts...

Daniel,

I am at this moment working all twelve of the BlueMarble NextGen textures. You have to keep in mind that there are twelve of them. It normaly takes me about 2 months to work on a single 16k Earth texture. I have done five of the twelve already , and that in the span of just a couple of weeks and working on a few other things on hte side. Just hang in there.

Yes things have slowed down a little but that is how things go.

Past texture releases, Hmm let me think about it

Thanks for your understanding.

danielj...I find your first post rude and offensive. Get off your butt and contribute or go away.

Just my half a pint!

Daniel and bh,

As you both know, two of the Guidelines for this forum are that you be polite and that if you think that a posting has violated the guidelines that you should conatact a Moderator and not respond in public. Public displays of temper tantrums are not appropriate. Both of you are stepping over the line.

I'm locking this thread.
