This isn't mine, but a friend thought of me when she saw it and forwarded the link to me.This lucky kid has a very creative father! Can you imagine having something like this to play with? My son's spaceship |

That is simply amazing! I hope they have included a blue "Lunar Contact" light on the panel? |

I wonder if they would like to adopt a new 55 year old son? |

My Dad was given several panels from a Redstone tracking trailer that had been donated to the local CAP unit and their CO was a friends of my Dad's. My brother and I put the panels in our 'treehouse' (a well-built structure standing up on 4 8X8 beams that really looked like a guard tower in a WW2 prison camp movie). That made for a great space capsule, imagining it sitting on pad 39A (like a few hour's drive south of where I grew up). It even had buttons marked, "millile tracking" and azimuth dials that I didn't understand their purpose. Oh, how I wish I had saved parts of these panels, they'd probably be worth something today. All that said, I was deeply impressed with this thing the man built for his son. Had my wife and I been able to have the kids we'd planned for but never happened, I surely would have built something like this for any kid of mine who might want it... |
