Description
The Soviets are getting ready to put a man on the moon... so it's going to be a 3 horse race: The British Rocket Group, the US Space Agency, or the Soviet... whatever they call their space organisation - agents have been shot for trying to find out!
This is one of Geodesic's retro rockets.(Nice one John)
Thanks for looking
Iain
(PS - anyone got a retro spacesuit knocking about on their hard drive?)

Yeah, Tankschlapper was indeed a visionary...LOL. Great nostalgia cover art.
Very nice, like these covers!
Fun! Pointy! You've really got the retro down. I think I had this issue but my mom threw it out.
I really like the idea behind this.Favorited, and 5.
Great use of that rocket in your mag cover, this time. In fact, mag cover and overall design is right out of the 50s. Very well done, once again.
Other nice composition... well done! Hugs
Very cool cover once again!
The story goes that when Quatermass found out that the Russian Federal Space Agency (RKA} had finally achieved a successful launch of the Mockba 7, he uttered a statement that is too colorful to be repeated here. These covers are Instant Classics.
Excellent concept and well executed
Another excellent cover, as to astronauts I've sent you a site mail, hope it helps.
First thing that lept to mind when I saw this was The Quatermass Xperiment as well. Great work.
Cool mate, as always
Xcellent presentation!
Beautiful work! Love that cover.
