Going for Green Compared

A comparison of the 17 Going for Green sets was featured in Issue 67.  This has now been amplified and added to the SUGARCAT pages.


Man in the Moon

We reported in Sweet Thoughts that a new corrected packet in the Millennium Historical Events sets had been found.  In fact one of these was already on SUGARCAT but incorrectly named.

The original sets, in both white and brown, had the date for the first moon walk as 20 July which was the date the craft landed.

White set - Brown set

The corrected packets showed the date of 21 July.

These packets have been added to the database and the necessary changes made to the various entries.

Also the low and medium resolution PDFs showing these two sets have been updated to show all the currently known variants.
