Murder on the Moon (1989)

Murder on the Moon is a crime/sci-fi TV movie from 1989, the plot of which is that after a nuclear war on Earth, the Soviet Union and the U.S. both establish outposts on the moon. When a murder occurs, both U.S. and Soviet investigators are forced to work on the case together.
 
 
Now if that's familiar but the name is not then you may have seen it in the US under the titles: Murder by Moonlight or  Murder in Space.  Not to be confused with Murder In Space (1985) of which I might blog later.
Thanks to a reminder by faithful blog follower Tim, I now remember having watched this back in the day.  I don't remember it being all that good but then I don't actually remember too much about it at all.


It's a little bit more interesting to me now as I can see that those are the suits from Outland that have gone on to have quite a long career for a post 70's spacesuit.

L5 (2012)

L5 is a crowd-funded mini-series about a group of astronauts who return to Earth after a decades long mission only to discover that their home planet, after 200 years Earth time, is now mysteriously devoid of life.

 
 
 
 
Which all seems rather entertaining but why not go and see for yourself by following the link below.


After you've done that feel free to come back over here and share your thoughts in the comments area below.

And once again, thanks for the find, Tim

Paul Van Dyk - Evolution (2012)

From Paul Van Dyk's Evolution album comes...
The cover artwork for the single: The Ocean
And cover artwork for the single: Eternity

And here are some additional promotional imagery from the album's first single release: Verano.




The suit looks a bit 2001 but I'm thinking it's one of those IBM Codernaut suits, looking a little worse for wear after a decade or so.
