Re: Apollo Humor  :D

http://whizzospace.com/humor/humor.htm]This is great!

*I found this while searching for something related to the Apollo era.

Check out especially "The Nose Knows," top image and caption on the 2nd page.

The suit technician helping Apollo 17 CDR Gene Cernan dress for flight has not in fact twisted the astronaut's head on wrong. Nor, has Gene been posessed by the head-swiveling demon from the movie "The Exorcist." CAPT Cernan is merely scratching an itch with a strategically-placed piece of Velcro, which was an upgraded nose-relief feature of the later model A7L moonsuit helmet.

:laugh:  That is TRULY a comical image...LOL

Nice. :laugh:

My personal favorite is the VW poster "It's ugly but it gets you there" take-off. Nowadays we'd call that a photoshop, but I suppose back then it would have been a doctored poster. Funny how words like that become commonplace.


A mind is like a parachute- it works best when open.

Re: Apollo Humor  :D

I suppose thats about average. It wont top the one where two apollo astronauts fall down the ladder of the lunar module drunk because someone thought a bottle of Alcohol did the same job as a CO2 filter.
