While this deck may have some educational value...

I am not fancying the design at all.

You simply can't make photos mesh with playing cards in my book. They all come across as that souvenir deck that you never bother to pick up unless you desperately need one for a game of cards.
Yes, I might be the guy you remember from that thing at that place way back when.

It resembles the decks that you find at a science museum. If thats what they're going for then job well done but as a collector and card aficionado this has no special appeal to me.

Agreed.  But at least the images didn't cost him much.  NASA's photos and logos are all royalty-free, last time I checked, so no licensing fees of any kind.

It's not a collector's deck.  It's a souvenir deck for the Moon as opposed to Cleveland or New York...

Last time I was there I forgot to pick one up at the gift shop.
And when am I really going to get back to the moon. I mean it is nice to visit once, you know, to say you were there,but there are so many better places to visit and there just isn't that much to do.
Jump around in low gravity, take your picture with the lander and the US flag, how many pictures of gray dirt do you really need?
And don't get me started on craters. My wife was like "oooh look how big this one is."
There is only so many times I can say "That's what she said." until even I get bored.
And the dark side of the moon... Don't you believe it, matter of fact it's all dark.
You know it just isn't as easy to get the time off I use to...

But now look
I don't have to return to the moon to get a Moon Souvenir deck. I just have to tune into the inter webs and find myself some kickstarter.

Oh Frabjous day

Good to see you back!  :))  It's been too long since ANY of us has gone to the moon, hasn't it?  Now that ISS hostel - that's a whole 'nother story...

Last night I stayed up late playing poker with Tarot cards. I got a full house and four people died.
