NOTE TO INTERNATIONAL BUYERS:
Currently, the USPS minimum for shipping international orders is $24-28 (depending on destination) for packages weighting up to two pounds (0.9 kg). However, Paypal notoriously undercharges when computing postage costs. If you are buying from overseas, you may be undercharged by Paypal, in which case I will send you a separate Money Request for the difference. Sorry for any inconvenience.

About the Design
The syndicated sci-fi series "Men into Space" was a quasi-anthology series that chronicled a fictitious American space program from the first manned launch to the establishment of lunar colonies to an eventual manned landing on Mars. Light on character development but heavy on technical verisimilitude (for the time), the series offered "cutting edge" spacecraft designs and special effects on what was admittedly a very limited TV budget.
The "hero" ship -- if there was such a thing -- was an unnamed spaceship we call the Type 1. Capable of carrying four astronauts, it was basically a winged bullet with four engines launched atop a three-stage booster. (The similarly shaped Type 2 had a single engine and a distinctive nose spike.) Stock footage of the Type 1 in flight was used several times in the 1960s sci-fi anthology series "The Outer Limits." |
