God those drawings are evocative of a specific time in history, aren't they? I love how big the Soviets thought... In related news, I was there on the tarmac for the second Scaled Composites launch, when they won the X Prize. It was amazing to watch this thing take off, drop the rocket-plane, watch the rockets fire, and see everything return to the ground later. At the time it felt like being there for a Moment in History... like the Wright Brothers flight at Kitty Hawk. It turns out it was an unremarkable footnote that most people today have no idea ever happened. History is weird, yo.
