There was some really bad technical consulting in the movie “First Man Into Space.”
The plane in the attachment (as near as I can tell it’s stock air footage of the experimental Republic “Rainbow”) is in a real time scene said to go climb from 15,000 feet to 45,000 feet in one minute four seconds; a climb rate of about 340 miles per hour; uh…..yeah.
The female lead, Marla Landi, married into the British peerage, and became Lady Dashwood.
I could not find his name in the credits, but either Edward Platt (“Sorry about that, Chief.”) has an unaccredited role or a double in this movie.
The shaking on the “Enterprise” bridge under fire is nothing compared to the shaking of the rocket in “First Man Into Space.”
I watched a bit beyond the end of the opening credits, which start about 3 minutes in, and then couldn’t take it anymore (it’s an hour and seventeen minutes).
this brings back memories of Peter the Gooseter. Aged, distant cousins lived on a farm (original part of the house pre-Revolution). Their dad bought the place in the late 1880s. They had a cranky old rooster, Peter, who hated children. There were eight of us (cousins) from 2 families – me the eldest, a boy cousin one year younger, my brother and girl cousin 3 years younger, another brother and girl cousin 6 years younger, a girl cousin 8 years younger, and my littlest brother 9 years younger. That rooster would chase us through the farmyard – me in the lead, the rest arrayed behind me.
When Martha finally wrung his neck and tried to cooked him, he never did get tender.
But, but, but……….. Claude never told us the name of his step Ladder.

Claude needs to check with Maury Povich. He’ll be able to find out who the real ladder is. Be glad you’re not on Gocomics main page. You have to hit the forward arrow to get to today’s comic, again.
I would like to try Dean’s spa!
Claude, please step back from this stepladder gag. You are likely to step into some serious s..t.
Yuri Gargarin inspired the American Space program, mostly out of spite. Unlike poor Laika, he was brought back to Earth safely.
yes, poor Laika
When even your dog doesn’t laugh at your puns, it may be time to stop.
Um… OK… I’ll say it here, too….
Oh my goodness… I hope not!
…
For some people… I hate to name names … but let’s just say I call one of them “me”…
Stopping is not an option.
Claude takes a new step in punnery…
a step back, as Dennis suggests… or up, to new heights…
or down, to new lows, as some of you think?
…
Who knows… when you make puns, the object is to just keep moving forward.
..
Close your eyes if you must… though keeping them open helps you avoid the eggs and tomatoes…
Just keep advancing, and never look back.
Eventually they all forget the pain, and allow you to return to the site…
…where you can lie in wait for a chance to strike … er, I mean, offer some great humor…. again.
You gotta say it like Ace Rimmer: GO AWAY!!!
What a guy!
In ancient times there was a kingdom where the people believed the dead should be buried with ladders to assist their spirits in the climb to heaven.
Over time, the religious leaders of the kingdom established a day to celebrate this custom.
Part of the celebrations included meeting with a spiritual medium and attempting to contact the departed by means of a ladder day séance.
You want bad puns? I’ve got bad puns.
RIPPED FROM THE HEADLINES!
(note the name of the horse)
Could that C C be a stylized Cleo and Company brand on the horse as well? You and StelBel are branching out. Moichendizing! Moichendizing!
Hmmm. Now where did I hear that name before?
Now if she had named the horse “Toronado”, we would really have something special.
Except Toronado was not just Perro‘s horse…
For part of his series, that human Perro imitator named his horse “Toronado” too,.
I did not remember that.

debriefing the first man in space
I thought “debriefing” him consisted of a nuclear wedgie.

I knew a girl in college who grew up on a few acres with animals.
She had brought her large pet goose to campus.
…
He followed her everywhere… even sat at her feet in classes… but eventually she had to send him home to her parents.
She’d thought he’d just honk at people, but away from home he apparently thought of her as his territory….
He’d chase us away from her, and bite anybody who was too slow.
No teeth, but his bill still bit hard.
But, but, but……….. Claude never told us the name of his step Ladder.

Love “Cover of the Rolling Stone”, though the lip-synching wasn’t particularly good in the video LOL 🙂
Were they lip-synching or was the vocal track a bit off?
Claud really wrung his brain to come up with that one.
Oh dear, I get it now, yes, funny🤣😂🤣
