To The Moon
We're working on a project for NASA at work, and just for grins one of our contacts there sent us this photo of the original Lunar Lander (as is obvious from the excerpt of a note he included, copied below) Apparently they don't want to throw it away, but what else do you do with a 40-or-so-year-old piece of leftover space memorabilia? Put it on a pallet and move it off to the side, of course! By the way, did you catch NASA's announcement the other day about a manned base on the moon by 2025? Crazy.
"Here are a few pics of the building your cleanroom will be placed in. In one of the pics there is the original lunar lander. It is in two parts, the one shown is the ascent module. The descent module is setting next to it on a pallet."

Shouldn't they put that in the Smithsonian or something?
And just out of curiosity, what is it that your company is doing for NASA?
I think there actually is one there. I was surprised that they had this just sitting around. I looked up images on Google and once all the parts are back on it, you can see the similarities to this photo.
We manufacture cleanrooms, air filtration systems, and some of the doodads that they use while working in them. It has nothing to do with the Lander though, he just sent that for fun.
