Just been watching Space Station Live on UK telly. A fascinating glimpse into the world of the astronauts on the International Space Station.
This was preceded by a radio package I listened to driving home from Bradford about the shift from braun to brains when selecting NASA astronauts.
And with the movie Gravity scooping up awards left, right and centre are we witnessing a resurgenge in interest in space readers?
The Space Shuttle generated plenty of toys. Not sure about Skylab toys? Anyone? Can we expect beautiful plastic toy International Space Stations in wonderful boxes reminiscent of the glory days/? Are there any ISS toys out there at all?
Do you have a favourite Space Station toy from your youth?

I saw this on the bay. Is it a space station do you think readers?

Looks like Skylab, or at least how it was supposed to look before a launch foul up ripped a solar panel off.
ReplyDeleteYep deffo a Skylab. National Geographic did an ISS toy.
ReplyDeleteThere was a company making resin models of satellites and space stations, the smaller real-life space 'vessels'? were 1:72, the larger ones were 1:144 (I think), but can't remember what was what...used to advertise in Model Mart/Model and Collectors Mart
