"Less ...Thanks, and thanks for your help, Jim. "Less is more" was definitely one of Laura's guiding philosophies. As you know, we aimed to grab a young or uninformed visitor who doesn't know much about Apollo (which, it hurts to realize, is History for anyone younger than you and me). If we can tell a clear story that implants three or four key facts or concepts--including such basic ideas as "the Moon is really far away and really, really hard to get to"--mission accomplished. Laura is a good editor.<br /><br />I don't know who built the diorama, but I think it's the same person/company that built the spacecraft models. Chad knows.

The whole "...Those display cases are excellent. The whole "less is more" philosophy really makes each exhibit stand out. Fantastic LM/CM/SM models, too. Who built the Tranquility Base diorama? The scene gives a very direct example to tie the mission of the Hornet to the exploration of the lunar surface. <br /><br />Again, kudos to Laura, Chad, Erica, Karen and you for putting together such a stunning narrative of humanity's most ambitious adventure. Thanks for letting me be a part of all this.Jim O'Kanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01806624628546492210noreply@blogger.com
