Also, some reviews of sci-fi figures. There was even info and US Army and Air Force plans for Moon bases that were drawn up in 1959.

We had a children's book back then called "You Will Go To The Moon" that had some of the same ideas. This was about ten years before the actual Lunar landing. I really enjoyed reading the Project Horizon PDFs because they were a blast from the past. It should be easy to make models of those bases for space gaming. The perfect retro-Astronauts for it are the old MPC spacemen in Mercury-style space suits. Scroll up just a bit from the Space 1959 article and under the heading The Astronauts are some orange MPC space men. |
