6) The 2-man "flyer" was more of a loose interpretation of the one-man lander concepts that were being floated around for what we now know were Gemini- Centaur contingency plans in case the LM and/or Apollo fell too far behind to beat either the JFK deadline or the Russian efforts. The "Pogo Platform" looks more like another loose adaptation, albeit of an Aaaarmy attempt at a hover platform. Seeing the design, however, has me wondering how well a Segway would work on the Moon :-P I have a couple of books from the 1950s that show drawings of these two vehicles, almost identical to the Airfix models, in use on the moon. Too bad that never happened....... |
