this sat in the drafts folder for 3 years, so clearing it out -
here's some cool but plausible? looking images of rockets
**Since plausibility in speculative spacecraft is a very grey spectrum, use your own judgement. The closer to 5.9 (but not 6, reality) on Moh's Scale of Science Fiction Hardness the better.
Illustrations and "technical" diagrams of Battlestar Galactica (Battlestar Galactica), Star destroyers (Star Wars), the Starship Enterprise (Star Trek), and the Moya (Farscape) probably don't belong here- wonderful and inspirational as they all may be.
There's Atomic Rockets at Project Rho by Winchell D. Chung, of course
