Half a century ago this week, Lunar Module-3 (LM-3) was just about ready to be transported to the launch pad after a year of testing. This photo shows the landing gear being installed in the Manned Spacecraft Operations Building at Kennedy Space Center.

Excellent photo. This really shows the scale of this wonderful machine. I always forget how big this thing was. Amazing
