Kitbash Moon

I liked this bundle of Apollo Moon bits on Worthpoint. I reckon some have been been painted and kitbashed! 

Waddaya think? 

Amber Vanguard

 The Japanese love different colours and finishes.

This translucent vanguard is neat.

It's tiny too!

Is it one you like readers?

An Event Sociological

The Grandson and me watched Close Encounters of the Third Kind again today. Always an incredibly moving experience for us both, we share the same excitement for the arrival of the huge mothership. The high point is always when it finishes the finale two notes of the famous five note phrase. We literally punch the air when it's done and I always have a tear in my eye.

This time though we opted for the Collectors Edition. There was definitely new stuff in it we'd never seen such as part of the beginning and the inside of the mothership with Roy at the end. Some parts were missing too, notably the bit were Roy chucks all the bushes in his garden through his front room window. 

Next time we'll watch the Directors cut to see what Steven Spielberg kept in, chucked out and most importantly added.

We both agreed it's an utterly fantastic movie, maybe the best sci-fi film ever.

An event sociological.

The Astronaut Wrangler Mystery

I recall the other night, after watching the wondrous Artemis II lift off, the array of post-launch talking heads on TV.

One of them was the Astronaut Wrangler. I had to look it up. It appears that it was Buzz Aldrin's promoter. Fascinated that he needed promoting I looked for it on Wiki, only to find nothing.

Checking further it appears that as it's the promotion, marketing and management of a famous person, the promoter isn't by default famous and therefore doesn't get a wiki page!

I was amazed. An American news channel interviewed her five minutes after Artemis II took off!

Cosmic Coastline

As Orion zooms towards the dark side I saw this old flyer for space resorts on Florida's rocket coast. I've heard of Coco Beach but not the other two, Titusville and Melbourne. 

Are you familiar with those places?

8 Wheel Mystery

I saw this on auction, an odd looking winged vehicle like a Thunderbirds transporter car welded to a formula 1 racer! 

Made in Japan. I can't read the Japanese script.

What do you think?!

Cake Canaveral

 I quite like these blister carded cake toppers.

There's a few different companies which released them.

I think the rocket gantry might be the same as Apollo Moon Exploring. Is that right?
