On this Breakaway day, our thoughts are with Commander John Koenig's teams on Moonbase Alpha. Today marks 27 years since the Moon left Earth's orbit, taking with it the last of the Eagles that hadn't yet exploded… It was Gerry and Sylvia Anderson's Space: 1999 (1975-1977).

I saw some people at the Small Space convention who had 3D printed studio-scale Eagles. I watched, slack-jawed as I realised that I too could print out one of these leviathans! Each engine pod would have to be printed in 8 sections on my Prusa Mini - BUT IT WAS POSSIBLE!!!!! (Maniacal laughter).
