"If you're careful, it actually has perfectly fine aerodynamics." <insert crusty Irish accent> Oh, aye lad, if you're careful. <wink> I'm sorry.
I much prefer the 50's and 60's sci fi designs. |

We know why his rocket looks like that. |

Just to unnecessarily clarify what Oberlindes is saying, it looks like what he is. |

It did sort of remind me of the rocket ship in "Flesh Gordon". |

So I saw somewhere that it was the Amazon People who paid for this joyride. Maybe next time they'll kick in for him to go up, but force him to rebag himself for free postage return. Wouldn't it have been synchronistic if while he was up there he collided with the Tesla roadster. |
