A big bruiser of a rocket. Yawn. I guess it appeals to the same guys who gawk at pictures of 1980s jazzed-up pickup trucks with mag wheels.

Careful now, some of your "WOWs" of science maybe stuff yawns are made of for others. Look, learn, move on. The APOD isn't any one persons personal slide show.

I find it fascinating such complex technology actually works yet it is one step above being drug cross-field by a team of donkeys.

If it wasn't for photographs, we'd have to learn descriptive english. I would like to see a photo of a real tyranosaurus. Or a jazzed up 1970's pickup.

Take a look here. These skin textures can be used for grayscale reconstruction, I guess.

Personally I would prefer a Nubian Star Cruiser.

That thing looks more like an interplanetary delivery package for big nukes! :shock:
