The hound, along with another of Schulz's characters, Charlie Brown, achieved celestial fame as the code names of the Apollo lunar module and command ship.

Before they emerge from the spacecraft in the Pacific, the crew will have vacuumed the interior, collecting the swept-up material in canisters containing a chemical absorbent. Instead of climbing through the command module's open hatch and into a raft before donning their biological isolation garments, the astronauts will remain inside the spacecraft until a frogman opens the hatch, tosses the garments inside, and then closes it again. They...
