An analysis of 1960's special effects Lunar footage

Where would they put anything, I wonder? Every astronaut who went EVA during Gemini reported having considerable difficulty re-entering the spacecraft. (Well, except Buzz Aldrin, who probably just wouldn't admit it.)

Gene Cernan recounts how Stafford was pulled aside before the Gemini 9 launch and told to cut him loose if it came to it. Cernan of course didn't find out until much later.

His recount of ingress was pretty stressful reading too.

That's pretty cold, but if the question was two dead astronauts or one . . .

The Gemini capsule looks cool and I remember in the movie the astronaut later needs to find the shelter module with food to sleep (and wait the rescue ship) and that one looks like the Apollo lunar module with lights but can't fly, he finds the Russian capsule on the moon with the cosmonaut dead he came first and after hours lost on the moon looking for the lunar shelter and running out of air he finally finds the shelter before the movie ends and.....the end

Sounds a bit like Apollo 18: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_18_(film)

I looked at a 1970's depiction of a lunar outpost, but I couldn't get past the purple wigs.

Gerry Anderson's UFO by any chance?    Gotta love those silver outfits...

That's one thing I liked about Moonbase 3... they wore "ordinary" clothing, no fancy "futuristic" outfits.
