Here's an interesting article about NASA's largest rocket ever, the Boeing-built (well, the engine core, anyway), unfortunately named "Space Launch System" ("SLS") designed for flights beyond low Earth orbit, ie maybe to launch ships for a trip to Mars or something, and how it's on track for its 2017 test flight, although they're still in the design phase. At a planned 384 feet high it's...that many feet taller than the 363 feet Saturn V rockets that launched Moon ships in the Apollo era. The article talks about how they're using hardware based on tried and tested models, like solid rocket boosters similar to those that launched the Space Shuttle.

This was one of those funny ones where the head was the first thing I drew (or rather, kept), and it was nice so then I went on and drew a body beneath it, then that was all right except something was a bit off with the face, and I picked and picked at it until the face was gone, and I had to draw a completely new one back on top of the body, and was cursing myself for wasting a perfectly good head and leaving myself in a position where I now had to put a head on a body that was already in place, which isn't the usual order of things and is thus a bit tricky for me. All for the best though, this one has a lot more feeling to it.
