Apollo Command Module Re-entering Earth's Atmosphere Jigsaw Puzzle
Puzzle Description
This is an online puzzle based on a historical illustration from 1968 by North American Rockwell, depicting the Apollo Command Module re-entering Earth's atmosphere. At high speed, friction with the upper layers of the atmosphere creates an intense plasma glow around the capsule's heat shield. The image perfectly conveys the sense of tension and brilliant engineering work involved in the crew's return from space. Choose the number of pieces and assemble this puzzle dedicated to the history of space exploration.
