As the design proposals start to make it onto the web and the designs start to firm up, I'm wondering if myself or any other children of the 60s-70s moon missions will be treated to kits of the new space craft and their delivery systems?



After all, S*k*rsky has nothing to do with it as far as I can tell. ;-)



I was rooting around in the stash and came across the Revell and Mono re-pops of Friendship 7, CSM and LEM - it gets me giddy thinking we may get back to the moon in my lifetime after an almost 40 year detour.



A black and white Zenith on a TV tray ('member those) and an eternal crick in the neck.... good times, good times.



So would any car-only, aircraft-only, armor-only, ship-only modellers cross over the line to build a new Orion spacecraft kit - even if it's not in



1/72nd?!?

lol... my girlfriend said the same thing a few years back in response to some of the experimentation stuff we noticed the younger generation of females seem to readily get into these days.
