NPR: As part of a project to create a high-resolution interactive model of the Apollo 11 spacecraft, workers at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum have been scanning the craft inside and out. The images have revealed writing, in both pen and pencil, on the interior walls. There are notes, figures, and a calendar, all created by the astronauts on board: Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins. The graffiti is providing new information about the first mission to land humans on the Moon. The three-dimensional model will be available online in June.
