Frank Comments: Looks kinda rough to be that guy seen in silhouette out near the rocket’s exhaust.

The perils of your ignition system being a guy with a match.

Is this a space version of ‘Dido and Aeneas’? And why does it look less dramatic and more stupid?

Polish a floor and land a rocket on it? You might as well set a mantrap.

Is that hat trying to eat her head??

Blasted dude reminds me of this unlucky frog.

@Dead Stuff WBT(2): It’s actually a scene from ‘Davros of the Opera’:
“Behold, she is singing to bring down the Thal rocket!”

After yesterday, this must be the second-weirdest ‘I Love Lucy’ episode ever.

Hey, you guys leaning into the blast—how do you manage to do that? And do you think it is wise?

@fred: Indeed. I suspect they are actually runaway water balloons inside her shirt.
And given as how previous commenters have already noted her resemblance to an opera singer, may I just congratulate @Perry Armstrong on his joke. What inspired it – her hat or her clothes?

@Tat: if you are laid. 😉
@AR: Share it FAST, before the admins start moderating the quotes!

@AnnaT: not her hat or her clothes, but her pose, and her nose.

@Anna, Perry: And her woes are not exposed in prose. She can curse in verse, which is worse.

It is possible to (maliciously) misread the title as
GREAT SCIENCE

FICTION ADVENTURES
…whatever that is.

@AR: Maybe that’s things such as the phlogiston theory or the Piltdown man, where people did some impressive research for science later shown to be completely wrong.

Draw 2 boobs. I don’t care if it looks “wrong”. Everyone knows women have 2 boobs so lets see them.

@Revellion: So that’s what the guy in front looking at: weird boobs.

@infoqueen (#18) – my thoughts exactly – in the future we will have rockets and really funky looking hats, but we will still frantically run through the airport and miss our flights… so much for technology…
(PS I love this groovy old cover art – sure beats the photoshopped crap being foisted on us SF fans these days)

@Emster: tell me about it. There is good digital art, but so many book covers (and not just in SF) seem phoned in nowadays.

@Emster
Dead right.
November 12th, 2022 at 9:35 pm
@Emster: and, despite what we see at GSS, there was good art back in the day, too, all hand-painted with actual oil paints and canvas.
