scroll down to "Constellation Lunar Mission Animation" (the last one)
On the second ship launched the escape module (the very tip of the rocket apx. 30 feet) is what my husbands company was involved in.


This site has a great animation of what my husband has been involved in. He is in the Areospace Technologies. Did you know we are going back to the moon soon. We will be using totally different methods however. We will be sending two separate crafts up. One with the lunar lander and lunar buggy. Then a second will ascend with the men in it. They will be docking. A manned capsule will orbit while the other half of the crew lands on the moon and then they will dock up again and come home. (It has been 30 years to the month Dove was born in 1997, since we have touched the moon.) This is a way to get through our atmosphere without having to stick such a mass of explosion under our people. It will take less fuel per launch and the risks will be greatly reduced.
Space exploration is a part of our family. It is a wonder and a glory to see this marvelous Earth from on high. We are so insignificant in the whole of the galaxy yet each one of us is loved deeply by our loving God our creator.
