The thing I much enjoyed seeing amongst this high-tech extravaganza was the red piece of kit on wheels used by "A University of North Dakota Space Studies graduate student named Fabio Sau tests out a experimental planetary space suit in the North Dakota Badlands near Fryburg, N.D., on Saturday, May 6, 2006" about 3/4 down the page (or do a Find with the caption here). But hey, it does the job!
but I didn't want to spoil the surprise. :) Reminds me we have a small one somewhere from when the boys were younger. Wonder where that's gone to. Bona-fide space equipment now, so I really ought to find it again!
Brilliant stuff, Woodsy!

Glad you enjoyed them Paul. I see what you mean about the red thing. Ha ha. Looks like a Radio Flyer. Essential kit on the moon I would have thought!
