Apollo 11 astronaut Neil Armstrong, seen here with the helicopter he flew to practice landing the Lunar Module (and one other cool thing).

Sold my Charger unfortunately....never got it finished.

Hmmm, no....I think Bull was refering to the Members Only jacket over Neil's shoulder...

That is cool, but not as cool.

There are no doors on the chopper?...??   :shruggy:

... allowing you to see through it to what's important, yes.

That's because there's no ejector seat so he has to jump out  in an emergancy.  ;D


Tomorrow is promised to no one.......drive your Charger today.

Yeah that whole 'ejector seat in a helicopter' didn't work out so well on the first test runs.   :icon_smile_big:

They will work, but only if you have a massive charge under the seat and good software to ensure it fires at the precise moment needed to get you up through the rotor blades!  Course, after that, you'll probably have a little trouble seeing over the dash due to spinal compression...        :D

Well the trick is to make them shoot out sideways.  :yesnod:

Now we need to determine if it was Nieils car or did he drive one of those Corvettes a lot of astronauts had?  Didn't they get them for free?

Actually, several experimental Helicopters have had ejector seats, which launch you right after the blades are blow away....but you had to hope that the seat performed as advertized, since once the blades were gone....you were no longer flying a helicopter but sitting in a big boat anchor.......   

Looking at his face and the smile...I'd say he just drove in with the Charger....................

im thinking he was posing for a pic of him just after he got out of his charger tossing the jacket over his shoulder, and all of a sudden a guy pulling a helicopter pulled right in front of him ruining the pic of him showing off that cool car. :yesnod:

given the price to transport a car across the country, taking it to the moon would be expensive. (also constant radiation would kill it in a few decades anyway.)

Man, that's a tough one.  Being a helicopter mechanic and aviation enthusiast, the helicopter is pretty cool, and of course so is Neil because of who he is, but then there is a '69 charger, which is like my second love in life (behind helico...err I mean my wife....).

I'd have to say that's one of the coolest photos I've seen in a while, and thank you to the OP.  (think I'm gonna download that if you don't mind)

Hmm... never thought of that before (radiation killing objects on the moon).   :scratchchin:

So I wonder what the state of those American flags are up there (from the Apollo landings)... I really liked the idea that in 5 billion years, when another spicies landed on the moon, the flags would still be there to tell them they weren't the first ones to land there!!     :D

I wonder when that pic was taken. I noticed that Charger is a late model with the long bumper guards.
My 1969 Charger. RIP......Rest in pieces.
