Very nice, Mark! Although the fins are a little overly ornate for my tastes. What was the inspiration for that style

The cocktail shaker at Goodwill instantly reminded me of Jules Verne trip to the moon. Started me wondering. What if Verne had gone with a rocket instead of a projectile? What would it look like ? Based on the Time Machine and Nautilus I think it would have had a flare for Victorian filigree. Sometimes what transpires in our minds eye in milliseconds takes a lifetime to explain.

Love the rocket, Mark! One of your best.   Your explanation concurs exactly with my impression of the design.  Art noveau blending with art deco.  Where is the rocket? photo located?

On top of the table saw in this galaxy,at this time. Oh,,the other one..Bezos. The reception area at Blue Origin’s headquarters features a Jules Verne-inspired rocket sculpture.
