Christian Lotzmann displays an unflown Apollo jettison bag.
In August 2007 when the picture was taken,
Chris was 2 months past his eighth birthday, 138 cm tall, and weighed 33 kg.
When lying flat, the empty bag is approximately 101 cm long and 70 cm wide.
The unflown bag has
part number P/N SEB 1300143-301 and serial number S/N 1139.
Ulli notes that the three bags used during Apollo 17
had serial numbers 1128, 1129, and 1130.
Chris models the jettison bag.
Ready to stowaway on the next lunar flight.
