At the height of the proceedings, Uncle Zoltan wandered in to complain about the noise and enquire what all the commotion was about.
Wilson explained about the party and reluctantly invited Uncle Z to stay.
'Moon Landings?' Uncle Z replied incredulously, 'You still believe in all that stuff? It's Fake News, dear boy! The so-called "moon landings" were filmed on a movie set on Area 51, and Stanley Kubrick was the Director – it's a well known fact!'
His scepticism didn't prevent him from tucking in to a large slice of Moon Cake, which he judged greatly inferior to the cake he would have baked – had he been asked…
Throughout this, Nërp maintained a strict neutrality and continued running his Lunar Module Landing Demonstrations – hoisting a Lego Lunar Lander up to the ceiling on a length of string, then lowering it slowly to the floor while counting out how many seconds of fuel remained.
Each time the Lander settled on 'Tranquility Base' he would announce gravely, 'Houston – the Eagle has landed!'
Following each successful touchdown, Pterry would cry excitedly, 'Again! Do it again, Uncle Nërp!'
