*A:M User* Roger Posted October 15, 2019 *A:M User* Share Posted October 15, 2019 Does anyone think it just a tiny bit funny, that one of the first privately designed rocket ships that could be used for interplanetary exploration, looks not like anything that came off a drafting board at NASA but instead looks like something right out of Flash Gordon? I always figured we'd have something like Project Orion (if you could ever get around the environmental concerns) but if we've got to use conventional chemical rockets for a while yet, at least we can look cool doing it.

Yes, but several orders of magnitude less troublesome than a ship that fires a nuke out the ass-end every second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
