They claim it's for landings in hostile environments. Wolves at the landing site, etc.

No the American astronauts landed at sea. The Russians in Kazakhstan where they may need to defend themselves against wild animals, they had really funky specilaised 3 barrel pistols.
My Korean chum was convinced that US astronauts had shooters incase some one made a speech about Communism.

Leave it to the Russkies to issue a freaky weapon like that. If the American astronauts had been armed they would have used the classic Colt 1911. That piece of steel was the government issued sidearm from WWI all the way through 1985. It's a nice piece of gear and lots of fun to shoot.
Is that the King of England's name I see on the bullets?
Cool beans sootyj. Just looked it up and it's the TOZ TP-82. The top two barrels fired 28 gauge shotgun shells and the third barrel fired a 5.45mm rifle cartridge.
It also came with a removable buttstock which housed a machete. US astronauts only had a survival knife. British astronauts carried a note with the words 'Please look after this bear. Thank you.'
The Brits had half a crown with which to get drunk as they moaned about how their country didn't have a space programme.
A flare gun pistol, with the capacity to take on wild life is pretty cool
Kim Jung Il claims to be the first man on the moon.
This company plans to land a robotic rover at the Apollo 11 landing site in 2011 and survey the gear with high definition cameras. I wonder if that will be enough to silence the skeptics?

No, because idiots are normally idiots for the rest of their lives.

Of course not!
The original filmset can be used again. Area 51, isn't it?

She says:
"I don't think my stepdad (Richard Gordon) founded a company. Maybe it was one of the others--Pete Conrad or Alan Bean?"

The company I work for was founded by Pete Conrad.
