| This comic was a nice shot of nostalgia, about the space program in 1962. Some parts are pretty cheesy, and Claire's only purpose seems to be to get Drift to ask her to the masquerade ball. She even gets annoyed when he ignores her 20 secs before the launch. Um ... I think there might be other things on his mind! But it raises some grey areas about 'peacekeeping' weapons. Some actual facts about Atlas rockets and possible space labs are also included. Interesting to see one perspective on the space race published during the Mercury era. |
