I remember sitting watching the first man step onto the moon as a teenager (just)and my Mum saying "close your mouth". Now 50 years on I`m sitting here . Really hope this one takes off as I remember making the first plastic model kit of this one. It was very basic so this will bring back some happy memories.

'One Small Step for Man' - Was Neil Armstrong Misquoted? https://www.space.com/17...e-small-step-quote.html
If Rights will allow, would be a nice idea to adopt a button on the display base which has a digital recording of "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind".
