I would love some really good shots of the interior if you can manage it. I am trying to create a large scale model of the LM with a detailed cockpit.

1-They got through test-firing an M-1 combustion chamber a few times, right? 2-I wish they had test-fired a complete engine. That would have been something to see, approaching the power of the F-1 itself...
Haven’t seen the Cold War Military Space History (published by the BIS) since August 2006, got any new ones planned?

BIS has a lousy web presence and they don't put the journal on the internet. That really restricts the audience. Also, their stuff has stopped showing up in reference collections and elsewhere. For all intents and purposes JBIS does not exist.Also, we get very little feedback in this field. Nobody really seems to care. So it's difficult to develop enthusiasm to do the work when there's no indication that it is appreciated or even read. I still write military space history articles, but I don't have the ambition to try to put together special journal editions on them anymore.
