Learn to fly the Apollo Program module simply by looking down at your tie. Granted, we've taken quite a few artistic liberties by moving around the most interesting looking dials and switches to suit the vertical tie shape, so maybe to be safe, get a copy of the actual manual if you're going to fly your own reproduction moon lander. But this will sure help!
Shown in first photo: Dove gray ink on navy. Hand printed in the USA in our Detroit Michigan studio.
