- reaperhulk 7y agoThat's a shame (for them). Your URL structure suggests you may be planning to do this for other Apollo missions, is that in the cards? Edit: I see you've done this for Apollo 17 already on a different URL: https://apollo17.org/ https://apollo17.org/
- bfeist 7y agoYes. I decided to no longer buy a domain name for each one after a cybersquatter swiped apollo11.org (like I have any money)
- kouh 7y agoWho have you spoken to at SI? Don't let a pen pusher convince you that his view represents the organization
- bfeist 7y agoIf you know the right people, please send them the URL
- dmje 7y agoStunning work, huge kudos to you, not just on concept but great execution/UI etc. My 14yo son is the most ridiculously keen space nut (the only teenager I know with a pdf of the Apollo manual on his phone) - he’s going to be very excited to see this. I’m ex Head of Web at the Science Museum (London) and now run a company that works exclusively with museums. I’ll ping a few people: I know the curator of Space at SciM but also lots of museum web people. Just possible someone will know someone at the Smithsonian.
- forgingahead 7y agoThis is sadly typical from my own experience with institutions like that -- too many mini-kings and queens who are only interested in their own self-preservation and glory.
- zmix 7y agoWhat is especially amazing, if you consider, that museums are all about exhibiting other people's work!
- dmje 7y agoIn defence of museums (who in my experience working with them for ~20 years) aren't like this at all - this is probably more a case of hitting up the wrong person at what is after all an enormous organisation...
