Space 1999 — Volkswagen Space Transporter

Via Google Translate:

Alvis Pi, a Space 1999 fan, created this model, the Volkswagen Space Transporter, mixing an Eagle with a Volkswagen bread [van?], the end result is fantastic. It was built from a VW Hasegawa kit, plastic pipes, ladders, handrails and plastic sheet, and the engines are from a 1/144 Revell Saturn V kit. The crew is a 1/24 scale, has two pods, one for passenger transport and a Hydro pod that carries a piece of a satellite and a rare plant. Very good job.

VW 1999?

oldschoolsciencefiction:

It was 20 years ago today, on September 13th, 1999, that the Moon was blasted out of Earth orbit by a nuclear waste dump explosion, carrying the polyester bell bottom-clad inhabitants of Moonbase Alpha with it.

This tragic date is still regarded as the least groovy day in space exploration history.
