The rocket is cool looking. I like the dog in the spacesuit. What if he poops in there?
Have a look at apogee components.
How about this Kit from Klima of Germany.
Klima EXA .
I’m in the UK. And often by their kits, they are far superior to Estes in every way. I have made one of these and I have another one in a box as I enjoyed making it that much I plan to do a different colour.
They are a great kit to build with a mixture of quality vacuum formed parts and conventional tubes .
You could definitely Tin Tin this one !
The comic was written in the early 1950s but the author did quite a bit of research to incorporate a lot of the current thinking of the space flight technology at the time. He had them lie on their stomachs instead of their backs for launch to better tolerate the high Gs for example.I didn’t know about the Tintin comic until I saw this sci fi cover art and you guys explained it to me. I will have to read about what Tintin did on the moon.
