They landed on the moon. The filming is real. Nothing is fake. I have no time for deniers.

Quote from: Techno 3 on Today at 08:34:34 AMThe flag ? :)

I thought that had been explained decades ago. :-\

It's got a metal rod along the top surface and the only 'movement' (folding) was caused by the fact that it had been stored scrunched up. It only 'moves' when Aldrin and Armstrong are forcing the flagpole into the Moon's surface.

Once they move away from the flag and take another photo...the folds are exactly the same place.
(Aren't they ?) ;)


Probably

The song dates from 1988 and  is not to be taken seriously

I think the pill-box hats with chin straps would probably be most suitable - keeps the head-gear on in a lower gravity environment. The great coats are probably a good idea as well - as it's a bit 'chilly' on Mars, especially at night.

My favorite item of British 'Victorian' military headgear are the bright scarlet painted, plumed, brass helmets used for some of the Turkish Brigade artillery (& also in India) towards the end of the Crimean War. Also the Bell-topped shako used in Afghanistan and China (Opium Wars).

Lots of lovely and very diverse options

Thanks. I've looked at everything on the Pendraken catalogue with a bearskin.




I may be (unusually for me) quite pedantic and precise. The British bearskin is a sleek and elegant creature - the continentals are somewhat more coarse. Even in 10mm the differences are obvious.
  I may try a test batch ... alongside some Zulu war infantry.  :-\

Help, I'm losing track...
Moon landing was real, you can see it was real, otherwise they would have far better effects...
