I finished my Orange Bullet with Rusto gloss orange enamel. I can’t take a photo of it until I get back from Birmingham, AL.

BTW, I shot my Doorknob with Testors Competition Orange and the color is nearly indistinguishable from the photo on the kit’s box.

Best "literature" I've seen in months!

That's spot on.

And, there appears to be a bit of an inside joke with the name 'Max Peck'. As some here will no doubt know/remember, when the astronaut interviewees for the second group of astros that would be picked in October 1962 were asked to arrive and stay at the Shamrock Hilton in Houston, TX, they were all asked to sign in under the name 'Max Peck'.

With the rockets theme of that cartoon, it would seem too much of a coincidence for the cartoonist to have just pulled that name out of thin air. That Group 2 (the "New Nine") would include the likes of Neil Armstrong, Frank Borman, John Young and six others. Borman, Lovell, McDivitt, and Stafford still survive. In my book, the best group of astros ever selected.

They certainly did a lot more "stuff" and for the most part were better educated. I'd like to see the top two or three from each group go at each other in some old fashioned stick and rudder flying in multiple aircraft, just for bragging rights.

The first group had a one-and-done politician, one that ignored some of Kraft's requests/orders, and a couple that were grounded for medical reasons, so it becomes pretty obvious that group 2 was the cream of all the classes before you even look at their accomplishments: Young flying three classes (4 if you count the LEM) of ships and eating corned beef sandwiches, White with the 1st US spacewalk, Borman and Lovell with the first mission to another world, Conrad fixed Skylab before the shuttle made fixing stuff cool, and some guy named Armstrong...

....but Shepard played golf on the moon!
