Saw it on German TV back then – and bought the DVD together with “The Masters of Time” (which I’ve seen before, too) in – Busan, South Korea in 2003.
“Gandahar” isn’t that good at all IMHO.
Picture it (all very rough figures but close enough)…. all alone up there, weighing a couple hundred pounds, a couple hundred miles from Earth, traveling so fast it made a full orbit in an hour and a half.
The basic components could have been similar to this (minimalist) example. The key was that they got it into orbit and scared everybody about what was possible from our (then most current) adversary. This strengthened the space race, and all that we’ve benefitted from it. There is so far that we can go. Robert Heinlein (and other authors) saw visions of how far that we might take it. Yes, I’d like to travel to the Moon and Mars, but I was born a few years too soon.
The surprising thing is it would have used vacuum tubes. Even encased in metal to provide strength and support, there would have still been glass surrounding the elements of the tubes to make them work.

Just a snack.

I have to call shenanigans on this.
I’ll be happy to find out what this is from.
Hunger?

With all those nostrils, Snuffelupagus?

I didn’t see it. Should i have?
Nah, they just meet up with a load of monkeys…
But what could be more fun than a barrel of monkeys?
Nope.
Maybe one time.
Ok, but not one of my favorites.
Alice in Wonderland
That looks like one of those coloring posters.
Find the hamster?!
Sorry, no time for sequels yet!
That is hilarious. Especially with Wile E. breaking the fourth wall.

That’s just in Seine…
Dirty!!!
Is the Seine dirty?
Remember the Olympics?
Oh yes.
Oops.. I forgot about that.

Lots of faces. Most of them ugly!
Ain’t paradoelia great?
Human faces?
Whoa… Like Happy³, I thought at first that i was seeing several faces, but in my case not well enough to say they were the actual solution.
Then I found them. They’re none of those.
And only one was in a place where I thought they’d all be.
I’ll stick with my first comment…

Put on your pads! grab your sticks! let’s have a rousing game of Family Lacrosse!
They rent you special short sticks…
Otherwise the theater seats get in the way a bit
Sputnik-1957
It was so tiny.
Picture it (all very rough figures but close enough)…. all alone up there, weighing a couple hundred pounds, a couple hundred miles from Earth, traveling so fast it made a full orbit in an hour and a half.
Our dad got us out of bed in Red Lake, Ontario so my late sister and I could watch Sputnik go over.
And the Americans launched…
( the grapefruit sized satellite is inside…)

Love the poster. Again! 😀
And still !
Ran across this story and music that you might enjoy. Funny, I got a little sand in my eyes, too.

I have a cousin whose daughter had a similar problem as the young singer due to an unrelated cause. All’s well that ends well.
Thanks for that.
That little girl can sing! ! !
