Another unusual use for a LEM.

Another interesting use for a LEM: painting graffiti on Russian satellites

A little off-topic, but some plans for reusing and upgrading Skylab with the shuttle:

Also off topic but definitely Apollo related is the MIT '
Project Icarus
'.
This is the 1967 asteroid deflection study that would have seen six 100MT tipped Saturn V's launched against the asteroid Icarus.
The article I've linked to also has a diagram showing the appearance of the 'Icarus' Saturn V's

Another interesting one (though not really part of the AAP), with some info about plans to replace the first stage of the Saturn 1b with a solid rocket motor, resulting in something very similar to the 'new' CEV launcher.
My own favorite series of advanced Saturn concepts is that in which the first stage was modified to drop its outer four engines after 70% of the fuel had been burned, just like the old Atlas. That stage, called the S-ID, could all by itself carry 50,000 lb to orbit:
http://www.astronautix.com/lvs/saturnvb.htm
: Saturn V-B = S-ID: 50,000 to LEO
http://www.astronautix.com/lvs/saturnvc.htm
: Saturn V-C = S-ID + S-IVB: 180,000 to LEO
http://www.astronautix.com/lvs/saturnvd.htm
: Saturn V-D = Optional SRBs + S-ID + S-II + S-IVB
[/list]
The Saturn V-B could have replaced the Saturn IB. By reducing the number of rocket models needed, costs would have been lowered. And the 4 engines dropped from the S-ID might have been recoverable.
A Centaur stage could have been added to any of the configurations for high-energy missions beyond the moon.

What kinds of modifications need to be made to the model in order to make a Sat V-B?

Well, the engines and support structure would have to be a seperate mesh. I'd guess that's about all.

Anyone have plans to do the mods?
I think this is a wonderful way to add content to the package.

I'd have to dig into my Saturn V blueprints and see if it's even possible to "design" a thrust structure that could do that with the exhisting SI-C.

My Project Apollo Work:
CM Visual
-VC (~75% complete: texture work beginning again; mesh-78%; texture-70%)
Propulsion Particle Improvements (Focused on S1B right now, BETA 1.0 has been commited)
New Docking Method (~50% complete: research complete; coding partially completed, testing not underway)
Future Work: (if it's here, it's deemed unnecessary to upcoming release)
Older Work: (if it's here, it's fair game to whoever wants to improve)
EMS Implementation (committed: minor flaws, but groundwork is there, needs extensive testing)
EMS scrolls (committed: not refined, but usable)
SM Visual (committed: mesh-finished, texture-60%; possibly revisited in future)
J2 Texture (commited: room for improvement)
LRV (committed: mesh-finished, texture-90%; in future a ground up rebuild may be in order, but not on my plans)

Any chance of it ending up in V7?

I've added most of this stuff to the 'Future Expansion' page on the wiki and put in a few other odds and ends I came across as well. So if we ever get the CSM and LEM finished there'll be plenty of other stuff to work on

I was looking through Bob's site and found a couple of things that might make interesting addons:
1. A North American report on a Logistics version of the Apollo CSM.
http://tinyurl.com/3y33ty
2. The Apollo Applications Program Quarterly Status Report One, which includes the mission profile for Skylab as it was originally planned.
