Red and Rover by Brian Basset for September 24, 2019

My son and his daughters went to the Space Center last month. His niece was with them. She wants to be an astronaut. God Speed, Amanda Quintanilla.

I wonder if the gift shop sells Space Food Milky Bones?

Red, you should visit the New Mexico Museum of Space History in Alamogordo, New Mexico. I was there a few years ago and found it fascinating. It’s as good for adults as it is for kids. Our guide was a long-time advisor to NASA and very knowledgeable.

Red and Bobby can be great friends.

MAybe they’ll run into each other at the Space shop…

Before or after you go into space, Red?

There’s a common bond there. Maybe you’ll both grow up to serve on the same space flight!

Went back in the early 70s and now, after retiring to Florida went again. So many new things. The flight simulator is a cool feature….lets you feel what the astronauts feel when launching!

if this comic is supposed to be set in the 1950s (as appears from the furniture and the mother’s hairstyle), Kennedy hadn’t even been president yet.

You will Red, just stay focused and keep on like you are and you will get there I have no doubt. (I know its just a comic)

Maybe that is part of what is wrong with kids today, they have no dreams for the future like being an astronaut. We need to get NASA going again.

I have a blue astronaut’s jumpsuit, picked it up when I was working on the Space Station Freedom (early ’80s) project.

I’m looking forward to going to the DC Metro gift shop next week.

Try to go to the Space Center in Huntsville, Alabama. They have Space Camp, one of each rocket ship ever used, and an amazing gift shop. When one of the last space shuttles had a critical systems failure, they grabbed the functional working parts out of the retired shuttle in their exhibit.

But does he have the entire Major Matt Mason collector’s set?

Red, Bobby and Rover could all go together? Maybe? In any case, take care my little darlings!

I’m thinking – after the space travel

I like Red’s hoodie.

Maybe think about space camp in Huntsville, AL
