    Right.
    Apollo 10's lunar module was only partly loaded with fuel...

    (If I recall correctly.)

      NASA is going back to the moon after 50 years ... on April fool's day.

      The irony ...

      "How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit."

      Artemis (Diana) is Apollo's twin sister. Together the two are 'Lucifer'.

      They are chief deities of the solar worship cult.

        With Artemis II supposed to be Apollo 8 bis,
        now Artemis III is supposed to be Apollo 9 bis.
        What are the odds then that there will be an Apollo 10 bis?
        Three or four to one?

            How does this Roman torso get identified as ? Just look at his glutes!

            A Roman marble torso of Apollo, depicted lifesized, standing in contrapposto with his weight on his right leg, the left slightly advanced, with both arms lowered, the left pulled slightly back. The lithe figure has softly-modelled musculature, his long serpentine tendrils falling onto each shoulder, preserving a tree trunk support along the right thigh, and a smaller rectangular strut at the back of the left thigh. The position of the arms, though mostly broken off now, suggests that this may be a version of Apollon Kitharoidos, Apollo the Lyre Player, known from numerous Roman variations. The god would have been holding the kithara (a type of lyre used by professional musicians) with his left arm, and the plectrum in his right hand. The languid body modelling is Praxitelean in flavor, likely based on a 4th century BCE Greek composition.
