Yeah, there's a story there...  We'd initially called it Sci-Fi themed to go with the ranges.  But then we did an Eagle + Neil Armstrong figure, so I switched it to space-themed but forgot about the Terminator...

Well there are certainly plenty of people who think that's all made up.

Well, I'm not a 7th Ed. WRG player but, "Tonight, I'm a rock 'n' roll star" ... "in the sunshi-iiii-ne."

And yes, I do think Apollo 11 didn't land on the moon in 1969. I think they needed the result too fast, weren't quite their yet, so filmed it on Earth. NASA probably had the ability months/years later, but deadline 1969 meant they needed a victory over the Soviets in the space race too soon for the Apollo 11 mission to get there.

I'm not a flat earther, though  >:< 

Just to finish off, I'm playing at Pendraken HQ tomorrow so might see all this stuff, again. ACW in 10mm, Chancellorsville. Altar of Freedom rules.
Rimmer: "Aliens."

Lister: "Oh God, aliens... Your explanation for anything slightly peculiar is aliens, isn't it?

Rimmer: "Well, we didn't use it all, Lister. Who did?"

Lister: "Rimmer, aliens used our bog roll?"

Corso

Not sure if they made it but pretty sure the filming was fake

I have the feeling they filmed it before hand because they knew the Rad levels were too high to capture film footage.

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

The 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 ?) ;)

I'll do this later

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

They landed on the moon. The filming is real. Nothing is fake. I have no time for deniers.
I have neither the time nor the crayons to explain why you are wrong.
