About two thirds down the page there’s a slide show of various things the astronauts taped or wrote on the walls. > **[A New Look Inside the Apollo 11 Spacecraft Reveals A Few Surprises](https://www.smithsonianmag.com/air-space-magazine/smithsonians-3d-project-uncovers-new-detail-national-air-and-space-museums-apollo-11-command-module-180958124/)** > > A 3-D imaging project at the National Air and Space Museum lets technicians inspect the historic command module for the first time in decades. ---

I like that he wrote the year on the hand-drawn calendar. So if the moon-shot ran over by more than 11 months, they wouldn’t get mixed up. ---

I like the locker they labeled “smelly waste!”. I wonder if anyone has ever opened it. ---
