380467558663 is incorrectly listed as a mockup of a rocket engine. If there is any interest at the conclusion of the auction (assuming nobody else has done so) can convey what the item actually is. |

OK, auction ended at $1,900.00, so what is it? |

A lot of renovation work and especially the wood. |

I like the description "Gemini Lunar Lander." You learn something new about the space program every day on eBay!!! |

Apparently it was used on Apollo 17 — judging by the decal. I spoke with Captain Cernan last week. He looked none the worse for wear despite having landed on the moon during the Gemini Program using a wooden Lunar Module engine. |

Hopefully the buyer did his/her homework... it was a nice outcome (for the seller) |
