Before there were Starbase Chopsticks, there were tubes ...

Concept art by Frank Tinsley in 1952 apparently for Modern Mechanix magazine.

If I didn't know the SpaceX chopsticks "Mechzilla" had been built and actually worked, it is a question as to which of the concepts I would think is the most outlandish of the two.

EDIT - ahh, it is correctly spelled "Mechazilla"
(look at the size of those railroad ties, railway sleepers, compared to the farmhouse!)
