A terrific Moon rocket from 1930. Off to the Moon? If only, if only….

Yeah, yeah, it’s a little late for Christmas, but these images are too terrific to wait eleven months to post, I’m sorry! (Hat tip to Rachel Hobson for the find!)
Heh heh, Santa goes out on a LM… (limb! Get it? GET IT?? HAHAHA… okay I’ll shut up now.)
Before Liftoff
The colors and lighting in this illustration by James Bama are just gorgeous. Created for a book cover in 1964, Countdown for Cindy by Eloise Engle. “The thrilling story of Nurse McGee’s mercy mission to a space station on the moon.” (Thanks to @susanjsteward for the detective work!)

Interplanetary Cruisin’
The Inter-Planet Cruiser… by Buick. If it comes down to the known vehicle companies making new space-faring vehicles, I think I’d still buy an import. [shrug] Maybe that’s just me.

I couldn’t help but be captivated by this stunning space illustration highlighting ESA’s next science missions. Quite the “cosmic vision”!
The powerful influence of the Sun and the nature of the mysterious ‘dark energy’ motivate ESA’s next two science missions. Solar Orbiter and Euclid were selected today by ESA’s Science Programme Committee for implementation, with launches planned for 2017 and 2019.
These two missions are medium-class missions and are the first in ESA’s Cosmic Vision 2015-2025 Plan.

My personal opinion of rockets is, the POINTIER, the BETTER. This Retro Rocket art print by Michael Murdock fits the bill nicely!
