HectorI made a full sized first, and second stage replica
for a feature film called "Fly Away Home"It was very educational.I thought it was a very nice piece of engineering, and tried to be as accurate as possible, right down to the gold mylar, and space frame lower stage, with monocoque upper stage.Like the plans, mine had articulated shock absorbing legs.The entire combined unit was super light weight, using best practice aircraft building techniques, familiar to aircraft home builders, and prototype builders, like me, having learned them in my night school courses, when pursuing building home built airplanes, in my spare time.The lunar lander job was a fun job for me, as the producer well knew, before giving me the job.I agree with you, and I have no idea what burrs are under that guy's tail, or who is putting him up to it.I saw the Apollo re-entry with my own naked eyes, carrying the boys back home. I was laying on my back, at night, in Monte Abine near Oaxaca, Mex.What an amazing spectacle lighting up the sky, traveling low orbit, seen through that dry mountain plateau air.Who gives a fuck if it was real or not? Given my givens, I'd vote for the reality side, as too many ex Avro Arrow people went to work for Apollo, after Eisenhower nixed our Avro program of the World's fastest jet.Our conservatives were just lying assholes back then, kowtowing, to the big boys, in Canada.Good engineers go where the work is. They called it in the news" the brain drain", and it was. But they were very, very, smart brains, judging by the ones I have been fortunate to meet.Life is too short for bullshit!Cheers Warren
