Rocket Mission Clipboards

Clipboards used by Kelly, Radnor, the Doctor, Jamie, Eldred, and Fewsham during tense pre-launch briefings and mission operations in the Space Museum and Moonbase. The boards capture frantic documentation on fuel shortages, crew assignments, weight limits, T-Mat repairs, and moonbase contingencies (e.g., abandoned fuel dump). Kelly's clipboard specifically records notes on Moonbase threats, Fewsham's decisions, and T-Mat control strategies amid rising suspicions of betrayal. The clipboards embody the team's operational scramble to counter the Martian takeover and ensure mission viability.
