Extraordinary pictures that make you go WTAF and want to know more.

Surprised he made it wearing flares that wide

We used to climb in those back in the early 70s. A quick flick of the leg to see your foot before placing it.

I remember looking at the lunar lander and moon buggy at KSC.

It didn’t seem believable that they could do the job.

I did exactly the same, and thought “well, that model’s a bit shit, they could have made a better job of it.”  It looks like one Blue Peter made earlier, it’s all cellophane and tinfoil.

Turns out of course, it’s real, the module at KSC is LM-9.  (The “tinfoil” is actually Kapton and Mylar).  It was intended for Apollo 15 but shelved when the LM needed a redesign to carry the moon buggy.

It looked incredibly shonky.

The ISS looks pretty shonky when you see pics inside it. Lots of exposed wiring. The explanation given on a science YouTube video was that they’d thought about making it all neat and tidy with panels covering stuff but that just meant that every time you had to access the wiring, you needed to remove panels and that was generally pretty inefficient!

Never mind the aesthetics, surely they’d be bumping into things and pulling wires they shouldn’t be?

It’s basically a floating comms room.
