"UF Universe Trivia"
 
   In his long and active career in various branches of aero- and astronautics, Gryphon has piled up a fair number of records. One of the earliest and least-known ones, and one in which he takes a certain... let's say modulated pride, is this: On February 8, 1995, during Operation UNFINISHED BUSINESS, he became the first person to wreck a car on Earth's Moon. He and his passenger, Colonel Leroy G. Cooper Jr., USAF (ret.), were unharmed, but the LRV was a writeoff, which is why they didn't use one for the remainder of the Unfinished Business missions.

   I suppose that beats forgetting where you parked and landing on it... *Rofl* (I am kind of thinking of the scene in ST 4, where a trash can? SHopping cart? is squished under the bounty's cloaked landing gear?)

Of COURSE you wernt
expecting it!

Not sure how I missed this, but, seven years later: Yes, that was Star Trek IV. It was an Oscar-the-Grouch-style steel garbage can, crushed when the Bounty landed in Golden Gate Park.

   Between 2392 and 2398, Wedge Defense Press published a comprehensive reissue of Gryphon's memoirs, starting with a tetracentennial edition of the first volume, 1992's Get the Girl, Kill the Baddies.

Accompanying them was a series of all-new graphic novel adaptations, with scripts adapted by the author himself and art by Steve Rogers. His style looks a lot like the late Darwyn Cooke's.
