Well, that certainly adds to my store of conversation. (American
Science & Surplus used to sell the penis-molding kit but under another
designation.)

The big prop spaceship that was originally built for the 1930 musical
comedy "Just Imagine" that later showed up in the Flash Gordon serials
probably inspired a lot of copies as to its cockpit layout:http://i.ytimg..com/vi/OUbGkSfaKrs/0.jpg

Is "Just Imagine" a lost movie? I keep seeing stills from it, but
never anything about a copy of it. I bet a dozen could be sold
through this list alone.

The cockpit on SpaceShipOne looked like something straight out of a
1930's sci-fi movie, and you almost expect to see the breech of the nose
heat ray sticking into the cabin from its front point:http://gizmodo.com/5141708/photo-of-...-slick-cockpit

Yes, but it's straight from US patent 2081151 ("Flying Machine"),
1937.
