Puntzi, an Oregon-based design house, is celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing by crowdfunding on Kickstarter a 3D map of Tranquility Base. This 3D map allows you to explore the depth and size of the obstacles in the last seconds along the flight path. It also added depth to what it might have been like standing next to a 30-meter-wide impact crater or placing the science experiments that were left behind to collect valuable information of our moon. - Size: 10”x 5.75”
- Made from high quality clear acrylic in 3D
- Accurate locations and scale
- Labeled items of interest- Flag, TV Camera, LM, LRRR, SWC, PSEP, and Craters
- Utilizing the highest resolution images of landing site and NASA maps
- Made in the USA

Puntzi update Thank you for all the early support, we were able to fund in the first few hours and are looking forward to producing this project. As this is a Kickstarter-only project, we hope that you will continue to share our map with as many friends, family and Apollo fans as possible.My plan is to start production as soon as possible so that you can have these maps for the anniversary and upcoming events. Thank you again for the support and we hope that many more people can be part of this project. |

I also backed the campaign and opted for the add-on of the replica lunar sample return bag. Both arrived today and look quite good. I would have preferred the original sample bag offer, made from Beta cloth, but the nylon version will still make for a good visual aide for my missing moon rock talks. The map makes for an interesting display and were I still going to Spacefest next week, I might have opted for Mike Collins to sign it (since it is an overhead view). |

I got mine today as well, and Robert's take is spot on. The map looks great (I had exactly the same idea re: Collins), and the lunar contingency bag is super but yet - would have been even more bueno had the original Kickstarter received enough backing to do it in beta cloth. | |
