And also a woman on the moon wearmg street clothes, dress and heels and a helmet.
Not a lot of consistency here.
First story Albright sends Midnight, in costume to fly the rocket. Second story, Albright flies the plane, then when on the moon, changes to Midnight quite casually without any comment from anybody else.
As for the scientific logic to anything happening in these stories? furgettaboutit! When Carl Barks put Uncle Scrooge in space he was more more logical in the storytelling. Clearly the writer just didn't really care and thought his readership wouldn't care either and he may have been right!
Fun stuff tho!
