A Blast from the Past! This is the spacecraft from the future as seen through the eyes of the seventies, the result of America’s space authorities’ best thinking on the nation’s first inter-planetary space station. The Pilgrim Observer is a complete, self-sustaining community space station, able to make deep probes to far-reaching planets, able to carry twelve crew and passengers and their supplies, able to send out and receive an E.B. A. space taxi and an Apollo module, and able to maintain itself and its passengers for extended periods of time.

4 Stars Surprisingly Relevant
by John from Fairfax VA on Jan 3, 2012
  NASA's latest manned space exploration plans--which aim for a deep-space asteroid rendezvous--call for something very like the Pilgrim Observer. The kit is old but well thought-out (as are the instructions), with numerous options for moving, extending or optional-position parts. The craft can be buttoned up for launch, complete with an aero shroud, or fully deployed as it would be in deep space. Drawbacks are a couple of "chromed" parts, some rather thick details, dated-looking decals and a somewhat finicky system of hinges. That said, you can make a spacecraft that looks surprisingly realistic out of this, particularly if you enhance the kit with aftermarklet decals and a photo-etch set, both of which I recommend.
