Journey to Planet X (2012)

 

 

Journey to Planet X is a documentary about two guys who like to make Sci-fi movies and with limited budget and no professional experience.  It's meant to be very entertaining and the online trailer seems to back that up.

 

Has anyone had the pleasure?

Walk in the footsteps of astronauts aboard the Space Shuttle Trainer, only at The Museum of Flight. A fixture at NASA's Johnson Space Center for more than three decades, the Trainer was used to train every Space Shuttle Crew, and has now landed in Seattle. Explore the cargo bay and flight deck and discover how America's heroes learned to live and work in space on their way to the International Space Station. Now, you too can be an astronaut.

Lovely...

Airfix Eagles - Captain Eagle (1978)

A long lost but much loved toy from back in the day.  There were a few different Eagles action figures but this was the coolest because 1978 was all about the Sci-fi and these guys were the same size as Star Wars figures.  If I recall correctly I think Captain Eagles and Han Solo were best mates and along with an army of time-traveller Micronauts often defended the universe from Baron Karza and Darth Vader but that was all in a living room far far away.

View-Master Tom Corbett Space Cadet (1954)

This 1954 View-Master reel (x3) present a science fiction character that was popular in the early 1950s on radio and TV. The figurines and diorama used in these images were created by Florence Thomas as credited in the accompanying booklet.

We had a view-master in our house when I was a kid although we never had this set of discs.  View-Master was a way of seeing pictures in 3D that I'm sure would singularly fail to impress today's youth.  I on the other hand remain haunted by certain images, diversely Tarzen and The Adventures of Rupert the Bear.  That's two separate discs by the way, not the unlikeliest team up ever.

Revell - Apollo Astronaut (2009)

Box art for 1:8 scale kit.  I think the art may have been used on an earlier release but I can't quite pin that down yet.  Either way, it's a nice painting
