    • 1969 November, Arthur Fisher, “Science Newsfront: Last-minute news and notes to keep you up-to-date”, inPopular Science, volume195, number 5, pages22–24:
      The space agency has requested the Lockheed Missiles & Space Co. to develop a method for controlling trace contaminants inside a spacecraft.[] Unlike the Earth's atmosphere, the air inside amoonship doesn't get cleaned by rains or winds.
    • 1971, Gwen White,Antique Toys And Their Background, page144:
      Other kits were for making aeroplanes, one a scale model of the Scandinavian Air Lines Douglas D.C.-8 which was expected to make the first flight from Britain to Los Angeles in April 1960. There was also amoonship of a type which the firm said will eventually reach the moon: all of which goes to show that sometimes toys precede the actual event and are not necessarily mementoes which come afterwards.
