What better day than Moon Landing Day to have a giveaway? And what better to give away than some Apollo-themed items??
Four years ago, I blogged about Apollo Space-Crafted Ale, and how in a way it was responsible for my starting this blog. I saw a bottle (empty) filled with wildflowers, and ended up researching Apollo Ale (and acquiring my own bottles, via legitimate means.) I was inspired that someone else was inspired by Apollo, enough to make a product bearing the name, and I wanted to find out more about it. And here we are at Silver Rockets, the neat-space-thing/pic blog!
And here I am, admitting that these beautiful Apollo ale bottles have been sitting in a box for years, unearthed by me yesterday while cleaning my office. (This is where you come in!) I’m sure some of my crafty followers can think of something completely AWESOME to do with these bottles. They are SUCH a lovely color, and hey, they’re spacey! SO…

I remember reading…..
in ‘Dr Space’ by Bob Ward I think ~
how Von Braun and fellow rocket scientists would go to a tavern and head into a back room to demolish the beer and in the heat of their debates on celestial accelerations, they would make innumerable drawings and calculations on the beer cartons. The woman who ran the tavern kicked herself severely for not keeping those cartons. What would they be worth now?
I’d love to see them! Not sure about monetary worth, but in a historical sense, they’re worth a bunch.
