In two years, it will have been 50 years since Neil Armstrong, representing all people of Earth, took a small step onto the surface of the moon. As a nine-year old, I was transfixed, glued to the TV, and hanging on every word about the mission that I could find to read. To this day, that experience affects my life.<\/p>\n
We should commemorate that giant leap for humankind event as a club. We should all build models of the\u00a0Saturn<\/span>\u00a0V<\/span>, as many as we can muster. There are a variety of\u00a0Saturn<\/span>\u00a0V <\/span>models available, in a range of scales and detail. Find one (or several!) to suit your modeling skills, and get started.<\/p>\n The club owns a classic Estes\u00a0Saturn<\/span>\u00a0V<\/span>\u00a0kit (Estes #1236 – kit K-36). Perhaps the best use of this would be as a club construction project? I’m open to suggestions.<\/p>\n I’ve started on my Dr. Zooch ant-scale Saturn V, have started planing my Estes Saturn V (#2157) construction, and have ordered an Apogee 1\/70th scale Saturn V kit. Should keep me busy – think I’d have time to try the Sirius kit too?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In two years, it will have been 50 years since Neil Armstrong, representing all people of Earth, took a small step onto the surface of the moon.
