I have finally managed to catch up with the Mythbusters episode looking at the Apollo Hoax claims... this should be good...

I really enjoyed that one, although it does mean Jason now wants his own scale Moon landscape like they had.

Ooo... me too! If I ever buy a home with an unfinished basement I'm turning it into my very own Moon studio. ;)

It suddenly struck me that that tiny pea, pretty and blue, was the Earth.
I put up my thumb and shut one eye, and my thumb blotted out the planet Earth.
I didn't feel like a giant. I felt very, very small.

Oh, please don't encourage him!  Anyway, it will have to wait until after I have a permanent setup space for my train set.

Combine them and have a trainset on the moon. Everyone's a winner.

No, it's OK. I've already told you that when we have a house with a big garden I'm building a life size Lunar Module in it in place of a shed...  :P

My dream as a kid was to build a model CM in my back yard.  My father declined to buy the materials, thus ending the potential career path for me as a model maker.   :'(

Reminds me of how much the HBs have tried to trash Mythbusters since that special came out.

I'm lucky. Not only do I get to teach people to fly, I get to play with one of the largest, if not the largest, 1:1 scale train sets in the world.

And all they ever can think of is some sort of ad hom attack.
They never actually bother to even try to debunk the debunking.

Unfortunately (for me) I have not seen this. Only terrestrial TV so we only get a few old episodes repeated ad nauseam (Quest TV in the UK). I would rather watch them on the TV than on line (if they are available on line, not looked). Give it time, they will pop up, sods law I missed them when I was working though.

To be fair, I have not watched them religiously. It starts off with a good run and then they start to repeat so you ignore and forget and then one evening clock an unseen episode and realise you have missed a few, start watching again, then they repeat, you turn off and miss when they start a new one.............
