There are always tons of spacecraft in the world of science fiction but I am always especially looking out for ones that look plausible and could be built today or in the near future. First are some sketches and designs for various vehicles shown in the Japanese animated series "Gundam" (Set in...

Another one of those flashbacks I had while looking for that old ALSV article was about a movie regarding a stranded spaceplane getting rescued by the shuttle Columbia. Saw it ages ago on KTLA's Saturday matinee or something like that. They usually ran crapfest TV movies around noon. After...

I've always liked this story, which has a few design details in it about the (fictitious) two-stage rocket A20. I've always imagined it as being rather like an R.A.Smith-style "son of V2" with a retractable wing upper stage. Fired up by "The Spaceship Handbook", I'd like to try drawing this...
