Comrade! Is being not invented here at all!

So, look, d'ya think we can get hold of one of the slicker artists at
luft46.com to do us some concept art of an Energia and/or Soyuz with
NASA markings, perhaps even nose art on the Soyuz fairing reading
"Tovarich 7"?

I, personally, think any of these guys would be excellent:

http://www.luft46.com/gmart/lufartgm.html
....especially his renditions of the WvB VTOL rocket interceptor,

http://www.luft46.com/jhart/lufartjh.html
....check out his versions of the manned A9/10 variants, and:

http://www.luft46.com/jgart/lufartjg.html
....his tailless gull-winged Heinkel fighter images are ultra-sweet.

And, of course, Dan Roam.

Btw, I'm also looking for Mark Wade to post his Late Extra, Told Ya' So,
Soyuz Concept Rules, Feature Spread any day now. (;^

I've not seen this actual page, but I recognize the vehicle; it looks
like the variant that Dan Roam has done some really nice rendered
animations of:

Yeah, I saw this link just recently. I like finally being able to check
out the detail on these old Salyut and Vostok LV images.

This large Gemini variant image must be new; these are really nice. Too
bad he couldn't fit in a rendering of Phil Bono's SASSTO/Gemini concept,
though. In fact, I don't recall seeing it on any of Wade's Geminimania
pages. I'm surprised, too, as that Bono concept was probably the
ultimate hot-rod Gemini variant, except perhaps for MOL.

Ah, hah. Thanks. Interesting that he has it under Launch Vehicles, though.
