[QUOTE="Skyman, post: 2852609, member: 28299"]Fun piece. Nice Newp. However, with regards to the REV, I HIGHLY doubt that it is designed to be a re-entry vehicle. The object in question appears to be rectangular, while the reentry vehicle (Command Module, CM) was cone shaped. Even if you're talking about the combined Command and Service Modules (CSM) both ends would be conical, one because it's the CM, and the other because it's a rocket engine. Also, needless to say, the scale of the spacecraft would be WILDLY off from the Earth. Given that I don't see that design on any other Ikes, my best guess is it's some sort of an engraving issue. Here's a picture of the Apollo 16 CSM pointing directly at you while orbiting the Moon. [ATTACH=full]677263[/ATTACH] Here's the Apollo 17 CSM moving away from you while orbiting the Moon. [ATTACH=full]677264[/ATTACH] Here's a side view of the CSM. [ATTACH=full]677272[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
