Gemini Moon Landers

#1

Post by Ylem »


At our club meeting tonight we had a wonderful presentation of proposed quick and simple Moon landers that could be used if the Soviets were ahead of NASA in the Space Race.

I had never seen or heard of these crafts, a "bug" and a "nuclear tricycle" were among them.
