Very interesting, thanks. There are die-cast models of the various Flxible Starliner vehicles, I wonder if anyone has done a NASA version ? A collection of NASA ground support vehicles would be interesting. They even used old M113 Armoured Personnel Carriers as astronaut escape vehicles. If things went wrong, and the crew survived, they could exit the launch site under armour in the M113. I have seen photos of these, painted white with NASA markings. Plenty of M113 models out there that could be used as a basis, but the markings might be a problem.
Travelled on a coach to the Kennedy Space Centre, but not a NASA one. Saw some there though.
ReplyDeleteWow! Was Kennedy impressive Kev?
DeleteIt was! Everything I'd hoped it would be to be honest. A real space port!
DeleteA real Mos Eisley! I'm well jeal!
DeleteLooks like an extended Dormobile to me.
ReplyDeleteIt does Mish. Quite a plain final vehicle for astronauts.

ReplyDeleteInteresting Paul. I wonder if the US Armed Forces have ever wanted to take over NASA?
