So this is a QUICK sketch of what one of the “reader” characters will look like/ be described as in what I’m calling, for now, my Apollo Star Wars Au. This is Reader, also Y/N also Apollo-6 part of the main team that the story follows. Not sure who will be the main love interest aka the “blank” x reader.
For this series I’m going to make the reader characters aliens races from Star Wars, because they are going to be in depth characters that you, the reader, get to insert yourself into!!
It all sounds really complicated and that’s because it is, anyways I hope this makes sense and I hope you like her, she is a half human half Pantoran mix!
There’s a train 🚂 coming! The Saturn V is rolled along the crawler transporter for Apollo 6, Feb 1968. A6 was an uncrewed mission & the 2nd & final test flight of the Saturn V 🚀. The mission successfully tested the heat shield of the Command Module upon reentry & flew with an 80% payload of a future Apollo moon mission. The flight lasted just shy of 10 hours.

50 YEARS AGO TODAY: The unmanned Apollo 6 rocket seconds after liftoff, April 4, 1968. (NASA)
The unmanned Apollo 6 launched on 4 April 1968. The 10-hour mission tested the vehicle at near-capacity weight load, the heat shield for re-entry, to test a trajectory for the Moon, as well as a “direct return abort” if any subsequent mission needed to be cancelled in flight.
There was very little media coverage of the flight, since it occurred on the same day that Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated.
