Neil was not unusual. Here in Huntsville, Alabama my son took a week long intro to flying course which ended with him taking off and landing at all of the regional airports in our area. He was only 13.
What is that image in the pee article supposed to represent? The ESA, urine, concrete, the moon? It must be the ESA, because I have an idea what the others look like.
That’s the most ridiculous (and gross…) astronautic idea I’ve ever heard!!!!!!!!! You need almost 200 adults drinking 4 gallons of water daily to produce enough urine for 1 cubic meter of concrete. Concrete that won’t cure because the water is going to evaporate too fast in that almost inexistent atmosphere. And it’s marginally reasonable if you can produce cement there. Carrying it from here implies the same weight of installed concrete plus almost a 10% of water, and a lot (and I mean a LOT!) more volume. It makes more sense to carry already made interlocked blocks.
I think Mel Brooks got that “Space Ball” helmet idea from the doofus "Telephone-talker "helmet the Navy used for years, so as to accommodate the Ear-Phones you had to wear.I always felt like a “space-ball” having to wear them…Thank you for MY Service….

British Soldiers used urine to fill the water-cooled Vickers machine guns during WW I and WW II.

It seems several inventions came about from scientists / inventors seeing them on sci-fi shows / movies and deciding to try to create them.

Yes, concrete from France will be used on the moon. Oui Oui Cement at your service.
Take care and gesundheit.

Another thing I share with Mr Armstrong. Happy Moonwalk Day!!

Neil Armstrong knew how to fly???
Gosh… if I knew how to fly, I wouldn’t bother driving….
Well, unless maybe it was raining, or it was so far my arms would get too tired.

Panasonic made “blinders” for the same purposes the “helmfon” is intended.

Looks like a peripheral vision canceling device as well.
