Brilliant..... with a capital 'B'. This is my fav module yet (no offense to
all the other great modules out there!) Of course, being a fan of the
Golden Age of Spaceflight, I'm a bit biased toward a scene like this, but
it's the excellent modelling that really makes this one shine.

Perhaps not as much fiction as just fact that hasn't happened yet. I know
that when I get to the moon, this will be one of the first stops I'll want
to make. :)

Years ago Monogram put out a 1:48 plastic model kit of the first moon
landing. And like them, I was pleased to see that you remembered to include
the footprints in your scene. Well done!
All the best,

Wow, Thanks Allan

I've had the idea for the footprints for a little while. I'm glad that you
were able to identify what they were supposed to be. Yeah, they're a little
large, but I think they add a human touch.
Thanks again,
Todd
