“Another iteration on the launcher concept. This time with two astronauts, a blue ship, and balloon tires. I like the symmetry between the front ends of the ground vehicle and the spaceship. Bonus points for including a computer terminal on the ground vehicle. Articulated... More ground vehicle that launches a small flying wedge. Comes with two astronauts and a video camera/bazooka for an accessory.”
