Twitter can be a challenging platform to navigate but these 3 are modest and enthusiastic.
Ive not seen these images before and I shouldn’t be surprised by them. Ken Mattingly training at JSC.

I’ve always struggled to visualise how the Apollo crew transferred from the CM to the LM. Struggle over, I can now see why the instrumentation panel was cutaway.

One of my favourite Apollo facts. If the service module hydrogen tank was filled with ice and stored at 70 degrees F, it would take 8.5 years for the ice to melt. If a car tire leaked at these rates, it would take 30 million years to go flat.
