With all the talk about the iPhone 17 Pro Max being on Artemis II, it wasn't the only time an Apple product made it to space!

In 1991, the STS-41 took a #MacintoshPortable to space to evaluate the suitability of GUIs and other hardware like trackballs in space.

The Macintosh Portable's trackball didn't work well but in STS-43, they took another Macintosh Portable with a modified trackball.

(I think this here is Astronaut William Shepherd using the #Macintosh Portable.)

Let's do a #MARCHintosh #3D Models Frenzy!

So, yesterday on @DavesVintageAppleTech 's stream I started modeling the side panel of the back cover for the #MacintoshPortable :

Finished way too late in the morning, but needs testing.

I also glued back some parts of the original, with reinforcement from a blister pack. UHU Plast seems to hold.

7 minutes before the Premiere on how I glue back plastic cases… You've got just enough time to watch the previous episodes linked to in the description:

This case has been cracked open, the battery replaced, and the case closed again. Can you tell?

I'm rebuilding the battery for my Macintosh Portable, so why not do a live stream about it?
