I found this peculiar thing on eBay, a scan of the editorial page to a 1962 special issue of the magazine Royal Airforce Flying Review.

I'll let the accompanying text speak for itself. But I'll add that I can only presume that it was a one-off for the purposes of showing off and not at all a serious proposal, otherwise you'd think there would be some other documentation of it.

The original was at an oblique angle, so I fixed that in PS and did some other cleanup.

Another image using the "step" term I mentioned yesterday, in this case its title being "2-Step Space Station Rocket" from 1952. It's an illustration by Jack Coggins for a book co-written with Fletcher Pratt. Both straddled the line between illustrating/writing for science and science fiction. Coggins in particular did covers for Galaxy, F&SF, and Thrilling Wonder.

He was also into other bleeding-edge forms of transportation, as shown in the second pic.

By which I presume they mean "and it's not this way". From 1958.

Frank Tinsley doing Frank Tinsley things again (in 1949, based on the signature).

You had me at "Inflated Rubber Camouflage Rock", sir!

Il mondo, l'universo Cyberpunk spiegato, pardon raccontato in maniera eccellente e piacevole alla lettura. Veramente un ottimo articolo, Erika è una bomba! Consiglio agli amanti del genere.

Via Mike Acs on Flickr, a picture from Westinghouse Electric Corp. of a nuclear rocket-powered Mars spacecraft. Artist unknown, and c.1965.

Some interesting details in this one, like the bottle-suited astronauts working on the foreground stage. I'm always a sucker for mid-century style globes with visible relief too.

The original caption is quite long, so I've put it in the ALT text.

This is one of those things printed in 50s popular tech magazines that seem possible at first but just gets worse the more you think about them. For one thing, an accident would have the potential to be a cross between Fukushima and the Amoco Cadiz. A subtle clue is the name Saunders-Roe, an outfit that specialized in oddball/doomed things like hovercraft and the Black Prince rocket.

Printed in Popular Mechanics, December 1958, artist is "cutaway king" G. H. Davis

A little something to go into my "Pail of Air"-style Cepheus Engine setting book. I started working on the book not long before COVID hit and got derailed because *waves hands around*. It feels nice to get back to it.

Republic Aviation spacesuit prototype or villain from a forgotten Second Doctor serial, who can tell?

acct output prediction: some clips from work w/ @robrousseau 📼 i'm a total for some of my journalist buddies & their associates. i go down rabbitholes & share the results to save others the trouble. opinions, video game "reviews," bleak , aesthetics, (bad) memes & (over-the-top) pulp dialogue. maybe even and stuff. who knows? not me! 😃 paying tax
