3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.
4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.
Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.

Thanks for posting this, David.
ReplyDeleteAt a convention a long time ago, somebody (Martin Bower, IIRC) told me that the SHADO Moonbase Interceptor design was originally inspired by the Gemini/Agena docking system. Seeing the original concept art, I now see the resemblance.
I'm hoping the "new" UFO has the same uniform concepts for the ladies as the original did. ;-)

David, another great post! I loved the Eagle as a kid and always wondered how the concept evolved and who the brains behind it were. Thanks for the link to the look back!
