Dave,
I completely agree. In fact, in my fan fic stories, I make the module have
passenger seats rather in the manner of a shuttlecraft. Just one of the
many impractical aspects of the show that a practical writer has to adjust
to keep it real. *grin*
Yours,
Denise

Hi All,

In the episode "Close Up", it is evident that the Lunar Module has
transported at least: Commander Straker, Colonel Foster, Lieutenant Ford,
Masters, the equipment to be installed into the B142 and other misc
equipment as seen in the Control Sphere, and probably a two man flight
crew... also supplies for Moon base as indicated in UFO #1 book, which I
think we all agreed a while back was cannon... that's not a bad load...
