Cape Canaveral, 1969. One small step for man. One giant mess for Chris Dillon. Back for his second PastMaster mission, Chris has a plan: impersonate Buzz Aldrin and steal his spot on Apollo 11. His cover identity? "Buzz Cauldron" β because it sounds like a wizard's name. His disguise strategy? Dress up "like a can of spam, whatever space food was."
Chris's approach to infiltrating the most heavily secured facility in 1960s America is to walk up to reception and say he's lost his badge. Game Master Claude describes him as "a perfect mirror of Buzz Aldrin himself, like a prophet wearing an astronaut's skin," which is flattering right up until the real Buzz Aldrin walks through the glass doors. Two versions of the same man in the same building. Chris's solution involves accusing the actual astronaut of being the imposter. Whether NASA's security protocols can handle this level of audacity remains to be seen.
The real Apollo 11 was a triumph of engineering and Cold War nerve β 400,000 people working to put three men on the Moon. Neil Armstrong once ejected from a burning simulator and went back to his paperwork. Now add one chaotic bloke with a fake name, zero astronaut training, and a disguise plan based entirely on canned meat. The Space Race was never prepared for this kind of one-upmanship.
If you were sent back in time, could you survive and thrive β or would you be burnt at the stake for being a witch? PastMaster is the show that turns history into an interactive adventure game. Each episode, a comedian is dropped into the past with nothing but modern knowledge and terrible ideas. The AI Game Master is strict. The chaos is inevitable. The past will be mastered.
Era: Modern | 1969 CE | Cape Canaveral, USA
