This little gem is so incredibly well done. And the gal is hotter than Mercury's day side! Yow!

This little movie has got many clever ideas, like the pressure seals in the view ports that allow the people in the rockets to stick gun barrels through the ports and shot at each other!
Damn, why did I think of that?
And I love the scene where one astronaut is cooking hot dogs on a grill while the other one sits in lawn chair and talks on the phone with Nixon.
Funny stuff. And Connie is quite a dish.
Here's Miss Anna Jullienne, who played the lovely Dr. Radar.

I chuckled to myself at the hot dog floating up off the grill, and the guy pushing it back down. The production crew seemed to be playing a little loosely with moon gravity, although I felt it was in line with the humor of the piece. _________________ ...or not...

Exactly. The way the lunar lander is floating like a balloon at the end, just out of their reach, is pretty silly. I think they could have thought of a funnier ending that didn't toss out the laws of physics we science fiction fans love to tinker around with.
But it's still a great video. _________________ ____________

Looks like one of those FUTURAMA heads-in-a-jar. |

Upon rewatching the video (still refreshing) I thought that perhaps the lunar lander was being depicted as though in a low, slow lunar orbit, rather than floating. It's in constant motion from right to left.
Another bit of humor I noticed this go-'round was the astronauts firing off their guns in celebration. Everything they do is a redneck cliché. _________________ ...or not...
