I love Edu-Card games and have been looking for this set, reasonably priced, for ages. Found on Etsy. "Space Race Card Game," unabashedly biased, with "Sputnik" and "Friendly Satellite" cards, plus Pluto ('cause Pluto was a planet in those days). Copyright 1969.
I have a nice little collection of Space Race stuff--a small moon globe, some Viewmaster reels and some books.
After Action Report:
Space Marine score = 2 (I’m terrible)
Alien Player = 45 (She is a smart kid age 7)
I totally underestimated the power of the MKIX Dreadnought. Without the additional man/firepower from Mission Dreadnought the marines are no match for it. We will go on to play the next mission with the Alien player gaining an Alien Event card and an extra reinforcement token. I also discovered that we had 4 additional android blips from Mission Dreadnought in the game instead of the one called for in the mission briefing. This had no impact on the game as the extra android was a reinforcement from an Alien Event card.

Off the shores of Isla Gorriti, Punta Del Este, Urugay. This water was beautiful, but distressingly cold.

The Seattle Space Needle shows its team spirit for the NFL Playoffs by displaying their "12th Man" flag.
The 12th man is a term commonly used to describe the fans within a stadium during American football or association football games. Since most football leagues allow a maximum of eleven players per team on the playing field at a time, the term denotes the attempt of a team's fans to help their team.
Due to the very nature of fans, their mere presence can have profound impacts on how the teams perform. Namely, the home team fans would like to see their team win the game. Thus these fans will often create loud sounds or chant in hopes of distracting, demoralizing and confusing the opposing team while they have possession of the ball; or to persuade a referee to make a favorable decision. Noises are made by shouting, whistling, stomping and various other techniques.
As a tribute to their fans, the Seahawks retired the number 12 during a game on December 15, 1984. This means no player on the team can wear the number 12 on their jersey. Since then #12 Jerseys have been sold by the team and worn by Seahawk fans, often with the name "Fan" on the back. The Seahawks also have a ceremony before each home game where a flag bearing the #12 is raised by a prominent individual.

The Wells Fargo Center is a 47-story building that is in the heart of Seattle’s financial district.
Faux box art for my take on Classic set 885. The lighting on my kitchen is the best in the house, and the dark winter of Norway hasn't let go just yet, so the quality was too much of a bother to make crisp and pretty.
The Inspiration is a mockup Space Shuttle located in Downey, California, on the site where the Shuttle's crew compartment and aft fuselage were built.
In 1972, Rockwell North American built this mockup of the proposed Space Shuttle Orbiter to present to NASA. Once the contract was awarded, the mockup was used to finalize the dimensions and the layout of the orbiter and its components. The Inspiration got the Shuttle project started, and was the final step before construction of the first orbiter, the Enterprise.
Long abandoned inside a warehouse after the Downey plant closed in 1999, Inspiration was saved during the site's 2012 demolition, and placed temporarily in a tent next to the Columbia Memorial Space Science Learning Center on site. It went on public view for the first time ever, and was given the name Inspiration by Downey City Council.
Details of the sample heat tile application. A layer of glue is used to fasten the tiles to the orbiter, so that they would stay flexible and not fall off as a result of heat expansion and contraction. And while real orbiters were built with an aluminum skin below the protective tile layer, the Inspiration is a steel and wood mockup, and the aluminum is seen here only as part of the sample panel.

New York City (NYC), often called the City of New York or simply New York (NY), is the most populous city in the United States. With an estimated 2018 population of 8,398,748 distributed over about 302.6 square miles (784 km2), New York is also the most densely populated major city in the United States. Located at the southern tip of the U.S. state of New York, the city is the center of the New York metropolitan area, the largest metropolitan area in the world by urban landmass. With almost 20 million people in its metropolitan statistical area and approximately 23 million in its combined statistical area, it is one of the world's most populous megacities. New York City has been described as the cultural, financial, and media capital of the world, significantly influencing commerce, entertainment, research, technology, education, politics, tourism, art, fashion, and sports. Home to the headquarters of the United Nations, New York is an important center for international diplomacy.
Situated on one of the world's largest natural harbors, New York City is composed of five boroughs, each of which is a county of the State of New York. The five boroughs—Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, the Bronx, and Staten Island—were consolidated into a single city in 1898. The city and its metropolitan area constitute the premier gateway for legal immigration to the United States. As many as 800 languages are spoken in New York, making it the most linguistically diverse city in the world. New York is home to more than 3.2 million residents born outside the United States, the largest foreign-born population of any city in the world as of 2016. As of 2019, the New York metropolitan area is estimated to produce a gross metropolitan product (GMP) of $2.0 trillion. If greater New York City were a sovereign state, it would have the 12th highest GDP in the world. New York is home to the highest number of billionaires of any city in the world.
New York City traces its origins to a trading post founded by colonists from the Dutch Republic in 1624 on Lower Manhattan; the post was named New Amsterdam in 1626. The city and its surroundings came under English control in 1664 and were renamed New York after King Charles II of England granted the lands to his brother, the Duke of York. New York was the capital of the United States from 1785 until 1790, and has been the largest U.S. city since 1790. The Statue of Liberty greeted millions of immigrants as they came to the U.S. by ship in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and is a symbol of the U.S. and its ideals of liberty and peace. In the 21st century, New York has emerged as a global node of creativity and entrepreneurship and environmental sustainability, and as a symbol of freedom and cultural diversity. In 2019, New York was voted the greatest city in the world per a survey of over 30,000 people from 48 cities worldwide, citing its cultural diversity.
Many districts and landmarks in New York City are well known, including three of the world's ten most visited tourist attractions in 2013. A record 62.8 million tourists visited New York City in 2017. Times Square is the brightly illuminated hub of the Broadway Theater District, one of the world's busiest pedestrian intersections, and a major center of the world's entertainment industry. Many of the city's landmarks, skyscrapers, and parks are known around the world. Manhattan's real estate market is among the most expensive in the world. New York is home to the largest ethnic Chinese population outside of Asia, with multiple distinct Chinatowns across the city. Providing continuous 24/7 service and contributing to the nickname The City that Never Sleeps, the New York City Subway is the largest single-operator rapid transit system worldwide, with 472 rail stations. The city has over 120 colleges and universities, including Columbia University, New York University, Rockefeller University, and the City University of New York system, which is the largest urban public university system in the United States. Manhattan is home to the world's two largest stock exchanges by total market capitalization, namely the New York Stock Exchange, located on Wall Street in the Financial District of Lower Manhattan, and NASDAQ, headquartered in Midtown Manhattan.
Coming out from the Space Station on this end are a numeric keypad, the USB cable for the Space Station, and adaptor for the external speakers, and the same speaker wire going back towards the speakers themselves.
I did not connect my scanner to the Space Station because I don't use it everyday. I'll just connect it directly to the remaining USB port on my Mac when I need to scan something. Ditto for the iPhone, because I sync only every few days.

and it is going to be part of a secret santa gift package.
Here we have the largest vessel ever designed by MKC. I've been slaving on the technical data (like dimensions, etc) since I saved it, and now, since I know so many detailing techniques and resources that I didn't have before, I feel like it need to be re-born. I've noted everything on this ship to give MKC an idea of what we're trying to achieve in this re-design.
