Tin Tin’s rocket looks like a V2, which, happily, Musk’s does not.

I had to read through a second time to find the Tin Tin rocket that was supposed to look like Musk's. Tubey with a fin is not "looks like".

Maybe if they gave it the same color scheme, right? Sheesh.
It was a thrill to get those Tintin books when I was a kid.

This is what a spaceship is supposed to look like.

Nothing like the Tin Tin rocket. If anything it is vaguely familiar to Fireball XL5 (IMHO; I'm not saying it's an exact match ..)

Hey, Neil, if that picture is from where I think, they'll wait until the day before launch to decide whether to go to Mars or Venus! Can you imagine Elon Musk making an announcement like that?
