WORTH QUESTIONING NOW isn't it? This MISSION (Apollo 17) wouldn't you SAY?

And you must concede that the object in this reflection that appears to show something looking like a safety suit with helmet? well if you look inside this with the curved helmet shape at the bottom and above it inside this possible helmet? well IS THAT A FACE ?

Finally...Remember at the start of this I mentioned seeing the non working prototype SHUTTLE (named ENTERPRISE) that was seen in MANCHESTER, ENGLAND, piggy backed on an official NASA 747 way back in the early 1980's...well I found it & thought i'd show you folks this photograph of the early life of the SPACE SHUTTLE MISSIONS.

My father took this but I kid you not it swept fairly low & close to us on the outside viewing pier here & could have got close up's of the pilots
At least I still have those memories if not what would have been amazing close up's of this shuttle & plane!



Close to 40 years ago!

And we still do not have a more ADVANCED spacecraft that carry passengers (that does not need a large rocket system) which could get them up into OUTER SPACE & then up to that closest to us (OUR MOON) in a short space of time

And a cropped CLOSER UP SHOT of this SHUTTLE (The 'Enterprise' I LOVED they called it this!) on the back of the special NASA 747.

Actually, on second thoughts it's not such a poor picture DAD (but I could have got one closer)
Just a SHAME it was an overcast day...BLUE SKY would have made a huge difference to this photograph.

Can you see the PROTECTIVE CONE system at the back of this SHUTTLE (where the ENGINES would be)
